Nov 2, '00 by kona2Make sure the patient understands the risks/benefits of a blood transfusion. People have the right to refuse medical treatment based on religious beliefs. You need to MAKE CERTAIN that they do understand what refusal entails (possible outcomes). Document your instruction and their understanding of said instruction. If they do continue to refuse blood transfusions...here's a site I found that may be helpful for Jehovah's Witnesses who refuse a blood transfusion (alternatives). http://www.noblood.com/
Good luck on your study! Please share w/ us how it goes.
