Question 1 of 5
The client diagnosed with Guillain-Barré syndrome is scheduled to receive plasmapheresis treatments. The client’s spouse asks the nurse about the purpose of plasmapheresis. Which explanation is correct?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Aquapheresis or dialysis, not plasmapheresis, will remove excess fluid from the blood. Plasmapheresis does not increase protein levels in the blood. Plasmapheresis is a procedure in which harmful antibodies are removed from the blood. During the procedure, blood is removed from the client, the plasma is separated, and blood cells without the plasma are returned to the client. Plasmapheresis does not involve infusing lipoproteins.
