The ACNP is caring for a 72-year-old male patient admitted to the Medical ICU with a history of lung cancer. The patient and family are asking about palliative care. Your response to the patient and the family is:

A 68-year-old male with a history of acute myeloid leukemia is admitted to the ICU with complaints of shortness of breath and acute hypoxic respiratory failure requiring continuous BiPAP. His vital signs show a temperature of 101.6, a HR of 104, a RR of 29, A BP of 134/78 mmHg, and an O2 saturation of 86% on 2L NC for which he was changed to BiPAP. CXR shows evidence of diffuse alveolar infiltrates bilaterally. His CBC reveals a WBC count of 103000/mcL. Shortly after being admitted to the ICU on continuous BiPAP the pt develops altered mental status and has to be restrained for trying to remove his BiPAP mask. A diagnosis of leukostasis is empirically made. Which of the following would NOT be an appropriate therapy for this patient?

A 35-year-old female with a history of multiple early miscarriages and vasomotor symptoms presents to the ED with complaints of right lower extremity pain and swelling that started 2 days ago. An ultrasound of the right lower extremity reveals a deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in the right common femoral vein. Labs are also completed which show a WBC count of 1300/mcL, a Hgb of 13.5 g/dL, a Hct of 40.2%, and a platelet count of 2516250/mcL. Which underlying disease state should be at the top of the differential and is the likely trigger of the DVT?

A 58-year-old male is admitted to the ICU status-post successful percutaneous coronary intervention following an acute myocardial infarction. On admission his CBC showed a platelet count of 249,000 mcL. His hospital stay becomes complicated by atrial fibrillation and he ends up spending a total of 5 days inpatient. He is about to be discharged when his primary team notices his platelet count has dropped to 98,000 mcL. They calculate a 4T score to estimate the likelihood that he has developed heparin induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) as a result of heparin exposure during his cardiac catheterization. Which of the following is NOT one of the Ts in the 4T score?

A 65-year-old male with a history of HTN and peptic ulcer disease presents to the clinic with ongoing complaints of severe fatigue, palpitations, and shortness of breath that he first noticed several weeks ago. On exam he is tachycardic with a HR of 117 BPM and a systolic flow murmur is appreciated on auscultation. Blood work is completed, and his peripheral blood smear is shown below. Iron deficiency anemia.pngRBCs were described as microcytic and hypochromic. Based on the diagnosis, which of the following represents appropriate treatment for this patient?

A 74-year-old female with a history of HTN, DM II, PAD, HFrEF (EF 20%) with right ventricular failure, dementia, and a chronic sacral wound who is bedbound at baseline who was admitted to the hospital for septic shock secondary to skin and soft tissue infection with purulent drainage from her sacral wound. Her vital signs showed a temp of 101, HR 114, RR 18, BP 76/52 mmHg, and O2 sat of 95% on RA. Her labs showed a WBC of 19.5, Hgb of 9.5, and platelet count of 59. Which of the following is the MOST common cause of thrombocytopenia is critically ill patients cared for in the intensive care unit? 

A 60-year-old male with a history of stage III node-positive colon cancer s/p colonic resection is currently undergoing adjuvant chemotherapy. A CBC is obtained a reveals a WBC count of 2200 cells/μL with an absolute neutrophil count of 450 cells/μL. What category of neutropenia would this patient fall into?

 Which of the following is most correct concerning treatment of hypertension associated with aortic dissection?
