A 34-yeаr-оld femаle presents tо the ICU with cоnfusion, petechiаe, dyspnea, and decreased urine output. Laboratory studies reveal a platelet count of 14,000/mm³, hemoglobin 7.2 g/dL, elevated lactate dehydrogenase, indirect hyperbilirubinemia, schistocytes on peripheral smear, creatinine 2.8 mg/dL, and hypoxemia requiring supplemental oxygen. The AGACNP suspects thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP). True or False: Daily plasma exchange therapy should be initiated immediately at the first clinical suspicion of thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, even before confirmatory testing is completed.
