Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1

A paracentesis is insertion of a needle to remove or collect fluid accumulating in the peritoneal cavity. A thoracentesis removes fluid from the thoracic cavity. A lumbar puncture is the insertion of a needle into the lumbar spine. A venogram is an imaging test that allows visualization of veins using an injected contrast media.

Correct Answer: 4

Purosanguineous drainage is a combination of pus and blood often seen in a recent wound that is infected. Serosanguineous drainage is clear fluid combined with blood often seen in surgical incisions. Sanguineous drainage is blood ranging from bright to dark red. Purulent drainage is thick blue, green, or yellow drainage, depending on the infective agent.
