A client with thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is signing consent for plasmapheresis. The client asks, "What is this procedure and why do I need it?" Which response by the health care provider is most accurate?

Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP) is a blood disorder that results in blood clots forming in small blood vessels throughout the body. This results in a low platelet count, low red blood cells due to their breakdown, and often kidneys, heart, and brain dysfunction

Plasmapheresis procedures:

Plasmapheresis is a medical procedure designed to remove some plasma from the blood. During a plasma exchange, unhealthy plasma is swapped for healthy plasma or a plasma substitute, before the blood is returned to the body.

During plasmapheresis donation, you will rest on a cot. Then a needle or catheter will be placed into a vein in the crux of whichever arm has the most robust artery. In some cases, a catheter is placed in the groin or shoulder.

Replacement or returned plasma flows into your body through a second tube that is placed in the arm or foot.

The procedure can last between one and three hours. You may need as many as five treatments per week. Treatment frequency can vary widely from condition to condition, and also depend on your overall health.

Sometimes hospitalization is required. Other times outpatient treatment is possible.

Why Plasmapheresis?

Plasmapheresis have been proven to help to treat a range of medical conditions, most especially Blood disorders, such as thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare disorder that causes blood clots.

Immune globulin  infusion.Generally treatment is not needed for  some individuals with TIP. However low   platelets  counts and some symptoms(e.g bleeding from the nose,easy bruising,blood stained urine and stools)  may  necessitated the administration of  immune globulin infusion. The  intravenous procedure last  for a week to two.

Explanation:

TIP, is an autoimmune disorder in which  disruptions to the blood clotting mechanisms, leads to failure of the blood to clot normally.it is due to low platelet counts  due to attack on the thrombocytes/platelets   by the immune system.

it can be caused by viral infection in kids, but disappear without treatment, and by  HIV-in adults.

the answer would be roots! roots are the parts of the plant that are underground, and that's how they'd anchor the plant. the stem is above the sol, which doesn't with anchoring. hope this !
