Answer:

Place units in inventory because the temperature is acceptable

When the temperature of a RBC (red blood cells) unit shipment from the local blood center is recorded as 8° C upon arrival at the hospital, the correct course of action is to place the units in inventory because the temperature is acceptable.

The acceptable Red Blood Cell temperature limits is 1-10°C during transportation and 1-6°C during storage.
