    Which of the following 4 orders or prescriptions should the nurse anticipate? Select the 4 orders the nurse should anticipate.

    Explanation & Rationale

    Correct: B (CBC), C (ABGs), D (chest x-ray), H (CTPA). These four orders form the standard workup for suspected PE — CBC for infection/anemia, ABGs to confirm hypoxemia and respiratory alkalosis, chest x-ray to rule out alternative causes, and CTPA as the gold standard for confirming PE. BNP, intubation, MRI, and cardiac catheterization are not part of acute PE workup.
