From the Editor: PDF OnlyAdministrative Aspects of TransfusionPauley, Susan Y. R.N.NITA: Journal of the National Intravenous Therapy Association: March 1983 - Volume 6 - Issue 2 - p 117-121 Buy Abstract To develop an understanding of the current practices of the administration of blood products, the Committee on Nursing and Allied Health Professionals of the American Association of Blood Banks (AABB) surveyed the 2000 institutional members of the Association. The survey, completed in July 1980, showed that transfusions are primarily being administered by nurses. In reviewing questions related to educational preparation, it was noted that minimal numbers of programs were available for nurses administering transfusions and even fewer numbers of certification examinations. © Copyright 1983 by the Intravenous Nurses Society
