Problem: When conducting the final check at the patient bedside prior to administration of red cells, you notice that the date of birth on the patient's identification band is 03.04.1941 while the date of birth on the pack label is 04.03.1941. What is the most appropriate action to take? Give the patient a new ID band with matching date of birth and commence transfusion Do not proceed with the transfusion, contact the transfusion laboratory Proceed with the transfusion as this is clearly a transcription error Write the correct date of birth on the patient compatibility label before proceeding
