The client with chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure is weak and dyspneic. Lab work reveals a hemaglobin of 6.5 g/dL (65 g/L). Which type of blood product will the provider order?

packed RBC

Explanation:

Packed red blood cells consist of red blood cells that are separated from the rest of the blood components and are used for transfusion.When the hemoglobin of a person falls below 70–80 g/L (7–8 g/dL), then the person is usually transfused with packed RBC. In the given situation, the client has chronic kidney disease and congestive heart failure and as a result of this, the hemoglobin levels of the client has fallen down 6.5 g/dL (65 g/L) and thus, there is an immediate need for the provider to perform a transfusion of packed RBC of appropriate blood type as RBCs are a carrier of hemoglobin in the body.
