    A client experiences an ABO incompatibility reaction after multiple blood transfusions. Which finding should the nurse report immediately to the healthcare provider?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Lower back pain and hypotension are symptoms of an ABO incompatibility reaction, which is a serious complication of blood transfusion. This reaction occurs when the client receives a blood type that is incompatible with their own. It can cause a rapid and severe response, including back pain, hypotension, fever, and chills. This should be reported immediately to the healthcare provider.
