Answer to Question 1

A
A thrombectomy or the transvenous placement of a grid or umbrella in the vena cava may be done to prevent the flow of emboli into the lungs. This inferior venacaval interruption device is called a Greenfield filter.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse must be interested and open, providing the patient a safe place to unload his burden. The nurse should encourage with a nonjudgmental attitude, not attempt to change the subject. Aside from suggesting other sources of help, the nurse should not advocate any particular decision or course of action, but instead leave the patient free to make his own decisions. Changing the patient's focus to one of breathing exercises does not address the patient's needs at this time.
