, • Question 1
1 out of 1
The AGACNP is caring for a patient who is quite ill and has points
developed, among other things, a large right sided pleural
effusion. Thoracentesis is sent for pleural fluid
analysis. While evaluating the fluid analysis, the AGACNP knows
that a fluid identified as a(n) is the least worrisome type.


Respo “A” is the correct answer. A transudate is essentially
nse just water and can occur as a consequence of
Feedb increased hydrostatic pressure in the pulmonary
ack vessels. It typically implies that the some condition
: has produced an imbalance in colloid-hydrostatic
pressures, such as CHF or hypoalbuminemia. While it
can represent a serious problem, it may also
represent a transient imbalance. Conversely, “B” is
not correct as an exudate has more protein in it and
implies a condition characterized by protein leaking
from vessels, such as a malignancy or some serious
systemic stressor. “C” is not correct—a chyliform
effusion is characterized by fat and indicates a
pathology causing massive triglyceride degradation.
“D” is not correct as a hemorrhagic effusion is blood
and typically means traumatic injury.

, Mrs. Miller is transported to the emergency department by
paramedics. She is having profound, unremitting chest pain, 0 out of 1
is diaphoretic and pale. She has jugular venous distention points
and a widened pulse pressure. Suspecting ascending aortic
aneurysm, the AGACNP order which test to confirm the
diagnosis?




Respo “D” is the correct answer. It is the most widely used
nse diagnostic tool as it rapidly and precisely can outline
Feedb the thoracic and abdominal aorta. “A” is not the
ack correct answer—there are radiographic findings that
: suggest thoracic aneurysm, but they need
confirmation by CT. “B” is not the correct answer as
ultrasound is not nearly as precise as a CT scan. “C”
is not correct—MRI is only indicated when the patient
cannot have a contrast CT.

, deterioration and long-term care placement. Which of the
following is not considered ahigh risk factor for long term care
placement?


Respo “A” is the correct answer; men are at higher risk for
nse long-term care placement than women. In addition to
Feedb male gender, other risk factors include age over 80,
ack: living alone, bowel or bladder incontinence, history of
falls, dysfunctional coping, and intellectual
impairment.
