NCLEX-RN PRACTICE QUESTION/PLEURAL EFFUSION



NCLEX-RN Practice Question

The healthcare provider is providing teaching on pleural effusions. The healthcare provider understands that teaching has been effective when the patient states:

1. “A pleural effusion is accumulation of fluid in the airways of the lungs.”

2. “A pleural effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the pleural cavity.”

3. “A pleural effusion is an accumulation of blood in the airspace.”

4. “A pleural effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the alveoli.”

HINTS:
A pleural effusion is an accumulation of fluid in the respiratory system.

The accumulation of fluid is in a space that is not part of the airways.

A pleural effusion is fluid accumulation in the pleural cavity.

ANSWER: 2
