Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1

1. The nurse would check the chart for the presence of a signed consent, which is required for the treatment.
2. This treatment is not associated with white cells, but filters the blood and adds albumin to the blood.
3. Results of a blood culture are irrelevant to this treatment.
4. The client is monitored for an allergy to the infused plasma, not to penicillin.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. The client will most likely have tubes and drains. Ambulation will be started after a few days postoperative.
2. Since the client had a kidney removed, the priority is to assess the hourly urine output of the remaining kidney.
3. Most clients will respond to surgery with a low-grade fever.
4. The client may receive a bath the next day. Monitoring urine output is the priority.
