The nurse is preparing a presentation on the inflammatory response. While preparing a cartoon picture of lysis, the nurse correctly draws which scenario?
 
  a. An antibody acting through the process of neutralization
  b. An individual's arm that is red and swol-len
  c. A phagocyte eating an antigen
  d. A cell that is originating in the bone mar-row

Question 2

The nurse is caring for a patient with brain tumorrelated hydrocephalus who is scheduled to undergo placement of a ventriculoperitonea l (V-P) shunt.
 
  Which information is most important for the nurse to include when explaining the purpose of the procedure?
  a. A V-P shunt redirects the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the ventricles to the pe-ritoneum.
  b. A V-P shunt stimulates ventricles to reabsorb excess CSF.
  c. A V-P shunt channels excess CSF to the left atrium.
  d. A V-P shunt provides a port from which excess CSF can be aspirated.

Answer to Question 1

C
Lysis is the result of phagocytosis. Phagocytes gobble up antigens. An antibody acting through the process of neutralization depicts production of an antitoxin. Redness and swelling of the skin surface are general characteristics of inflammation. The picture of the cell originating in the bone marrow is depicting lymphocytic cells, which are a specialized type of WBC that originates in the bone marrow.

Answer to Question 2

A
Obstruction of CSF flow may require placing a shunt to reduce CSF pressure and prevent in-creased intracranial pressure (ICP). A shunt is a tube placed in a ventricle and attached to a small manual pump that moves excess CSF fluid from the ventricles to the peritoneal cavity or into the atrium of the heart, so that it may be absorbed.
