Definition of a single unit
Definition of a single unit:
A single unit is what the blood bank (Canadian Blood Services) says it is. A single unit is accompanied by a single, unique sticker that is put by nursing on the Blood Products Administration Record in hospital charts.
So, the number of units you record should equal the number of stickers on the record.
