This study compared the knowledge of nurses at the Dr. Enrique Tejera Adult Emergency City Hospital before and after participating in an educational program on nursing care to patients with organ failure who receive blood products relating to: care nursing before, during and after administration, with a sample of 20 nurse practitioners. The research was performed between 2007 and 2008 in the city of Valencia, Carabobo, Venezuela. The research design was quasi-experimental for a single pre-test and post-test group. Data collection was through a questionnaire of 41 multiple choice questions and the results obtained showed that the implementation of the educational program increased significantly (p <0.001) the knowledge of nurses regarding nursing care in the administration of blood products to patients with multiple organ failure in relation to care before, during and after administration of the same. The results conclude that the implementation of the educational program on the administration of blood products in health institutions is beneficial to provide, reaffirm and expand knowledge of nursing staff on duty.
