D
All blood transfusions must have a filter to prevent microemboli from being administered to the patient. The patient's blood should not be aspirated to mix with the infusion blood. The blood should not have air bubbles to vent; if a bag of blood does have bubbles, the nurse should promptly return the blood to the blood bank. The only substance compatible with blood is normal saline; no additives should be mixed with the infusing blood.
