Repositioning A patient with chronic kidney disease is completing an exchange during peritoneal dialysis. The nurse observes that the peritoneal fluid is draining slowly and that the patient’s abdomen is increasing in girth. What is the nurse’s most appropriate action? B) Reposition the patient to facilitate drainage. If the peritoneal fluid does not drain properly, the nurse can facilitate drainage by turning the patient from side to side or raising the head of the bed.
