Answer to Question 1

A
Decreased albumin levels in the vascular space result in a plasma-to-interstitium fluid shift, creating peripheral edema. A decreased albumin level can occur as a result of protein-calorie malnutrition, which occurs in many critically ill patients in whom available stores of albumin are depleted. A decrease in the plasma oncotic pressure results, and fluid shifts from the vascular space to the interstitial space.

Answer to Question 2

C
The patient should remain on warfarin for 3 to 12 months depending on his or her risk for thromboembolic disease.
