where do you lay a tire to stop bleeding in venos transfusion ?

I want to know how do you do in transfusion?

[canoehead, BSN, RN]

When you are a nursing student it helps to understand why the book wants you to do a procedure in a certain way. If you understand why then you will be able to change the parts of the procedure that don't fit the situation, and still know that your patient is safe.

For example you could put a tourniquiet 6cm above a venipuncture site, or 10cm, so long as it still slows the flow of blood in his veins and makes the vein you are going to stick bigger.

If you want to do something differently from the book sometimes a more experienced nurse can help you decide what is appropriate and what is dangerous. But you should always be able to tell people why you do things the way you do, whether you follow the book or not.

Good luck
