Description:This article is the first part of an investigation; the objective was to evaluate the knowledge and compliance of established regulations for the transfusion of blood components in a Class A Social Security hospital in Costa Rica by nurses. There was a population of 206 nurses working in the medical, surgical, gynecology, maternity, neurosurgery, medical, and surgical intensive care units. 124 participants stratified the sample. The research is quantitative, cross-sectional / retrospective. A self-administered instrument was used for data collection with the aspects of transfusion regulations; for data analysis the Surveymonkey system was used. The results showed that there is an important percentage of nurses who do not know basic aspects of the institutional regulations for blood transfusion. It is concluded that it is necessary to socialize the legislation, so as to offer safety to the user and nurses in the transfusion process.
