Answer to Question 1

D
Asking open-ended questions will help the patient respond with information that can be used in a plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

A
Plasmapheresis is a blood cleansing procedure used in autoimmune disorders, such as acute glo-merulonephritis or myasthenia gravis (see Chapter 24). Much like hemodialysis, plasmapheresis uses a special filter to remove plasma and wash it to eliminate antibodies. If treatment is not successful, the disease will rapidly progress to kidney failure and death. The patient's blood is accessed through a shunt or a CVC, not a peripheral intravenous (IV) line. This procedure does not involve imaging or contrast.
