A patient has developed a kidney disorder that has caused an abnormally low level of plasma
protein in the patient's blood. The nurse is aware that this abnormality may have what effect on
the patient's oncotic pressure?
This increases oncotic pressure, which increases the amount of solutes shifting into the blood.
This decreases oncotic pressure, which decreases the amount of water shifting into the blood.
This increases oncotic pressure, which increases the amount of water flowing into the blood
vessels.
This increases oncotic pressure, which decreases the amount of protein shifting into the blood
vessels.
This decreases oncotic pressure, which decreases the amount of water shifting into the blood.

A nursing student receives an order for plasma administration and is unsure if this means a
whole blood transfusion will be used. The instructor gives which explanation?
Plasma can be separated from whole blood; so plasma will be used.
Plasma is a small percentage of blood; so whole blood is used.
Plasma can be separated out as albumin; so albumin is used.
Whole blood does not contain plasma; so plasma is used.
Plasma can be separated from whole blood; so plasma will be used.
A patient in the emergency department has experienced blood loss and requires a blood
