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.
