                Nurse Santi  :                                       Widya. I am Nurse Santi. Now that your
                                                                                         . Can you tell me
                                about your current condition? (1) ... "
                Mrs. Widya   :                                 I feel mostly okay, but I do notice some mild
                                dizziness."
                Nurse Santi  : "Thank you for letting me know. Dizziness is a common reaction after a transfusion.
                                                                                  (2) ... "
                Mrs. Widya   : "No,                           , just the dizziness."
                Nurse Santi  :                     (3) ... , such as a headache, fever, or any swelling at the IV
                                site?"
                Mrs. Widya   : "No, I               any of those."
                Nurse Santi  : "Great. Sometimes mild dizziness happens as your body adjusts to the new blood.
                                It  usually                                                -hydrated  and
                                encourage you to rest for a while."
                Mrs. Widya   : "Okay, thank you. Is there anything I should be watching for?"
                Nurse Santi  : "Yes.  Some  possible  side  effects  after  a  transfusion  include  fever,  chills,  rash,

                                immediately. These could indicate an allergic reaction or other rare complications.
                                (4) ...  like the ones I have already mentioned?"
                Mrs. Widya   : "No, I                                                  . But, what can I do
                                if those happen?"
                Nurse Santi  : "               If  you  experience  itching  or  a  mild  rash,  I  can  administer  an
                                antihistamine. For fever or
                                medication to lower it. More severe symptoms, like breathing difficulty, require


                                (5) ... "
                Mrs. Widya   : "No. Thank God I am not experiencing any of those severe symptoms. Alright,

                Nurse Santi  :
                                                                    comfortable before discharge. Please let
                                me know if the dizziness worsens or if you feel any other unusual symptoms."
                Mrs. Widya   : "I will certainly do that. Thank you for explaining everything."
                Nurse Santi  : "Of  course,  Mr.  Daniels.  Rest  now,  and


                Mrs. Widya   :       -understood, Nurse. Thank you very much.
