ANS: C
When administering a transfusion you need an appropriate-size IV catheter and blood administration tubing that has a special in-line filter. The patient's blood should not be mixed with the infusion blood. Air bubbles should not be allowed to enter the blood. The only substance compatible with blood is normal saline; no additives should be mixed with the infusing blood.
