Answer to Question 1

B
Fish have a high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which are helpful in reducing cholesterol. Not all frozen foods are unhealthy. Frozen vegetables with no sodium added are a good choice for a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Nondairy creamer is high in trans fat and saturated fat. Grapefruit juice often interferes with metabolism of a variety of medications.

Answer to Question 2

B, C, D, E
Plasmapheresis is a therapy used in autoimmune disorders, such as acute glomerulonephritis or myasthenia gravis. It removes the autoantibodies causing the disease. This procedure can be done at the bedside by a trained technician with specialized equipment. The patient's blood is accessed through a shunt or a central IV catheter and the blood components are separated from the plasma by filtration or centrifuge. Then, the cellular components are returned to the patient and the plasma is replaced with a fluid such as normal saline or albumin. Assessment for bleeding at puncture site, bruits, hypotension, and electrolyte imbalances is essential. Allergic reactions are not anticipated.
