Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Physical diagnoses take priority over psychosocial diagnoses,so inadequate family coping and inadequate knowledge are not the priority.The client has a potential for infection because plasmapheresis is an invasive procedure.Reduced activity is manifested by changes in vital signs,oxygenation,or electrocardiogram,and/or reports of chest pain or shortness of breath.There is no information in the question to indicate that the client is experiencing reduced physical activity.
