,annually - correct ans:AAMI Chemical Analysis of water used for hemodialysis
is tested
Clean the machine surface immediately - correct ans:A dialysis technician
observes a drop of blood on the surface of a patient's hemodialysis machine.
Which of these actions should the dialysis technician take?
About one ounce (30 ml) fluid is on the floor - correct ans:A dialysis
technician observes all of the below on the treatment floor, which one poses
an environment risk?
An artery to a vein - correct ans:A fistula connects
Vitamin B12 - correct ans:A marker used to determine the middle molecule
clearance of a dialyzer is
Cations and anions - correct ans:A mixed- bed DI tank contains
A glomerulus and a tubule system - correct ans:A nephron is made up of
An infiltration - correct ans:A patient complains of pain at the venous needle
site. The dialysis technician observes there is swelling distal to the venous
needle site and that the venous pressure is rising. The dialysis technician
should suspect
Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome - correct ans:A patient who is to receive
their first dialysis treatment is prone to?
bananas - correct ans:A patient tells the technician that the dietician
reviewed high potassium foods with her. During the conversation she states
she routinely eats the following foods. Which one is highest in potassium?
, It's a new Federal regulation - correct ans:A reason why a dialysis technician
is to be certified is
Clotting of extracorporeal circuit - correct ans:A rise in transmembrane
pressure in a low flux dialyzer during hemodialysis is indicative of
Never document something that someone else did - correct ans:A teammate
asks you to document the normal saline he just gave to Mr. Smith. You would:
May rupture and cause the patient to bleed profusely - correct ans:A true
aneurysm can be dangerous because it
Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port? - correct ans:A
patient's laboratory results indicate that the predialysis BUN level was lower
than the post dialysis BUN level. When interpreting these findings the
technician should seek the answer to which of these questions?
Tachycardia - correct ans:A rapid pulse of 104 beats/minute would indicate
that the patient has:
500 - correct ans:A patient's dry weight is 154.0 (70kg) and the patient's pre
treatment weight is 158.4. (72kg). For a four- hour treatment, how many mL/
hour must the patient lose to reach dry weight?
200 CFU/mL - correct ans:AAMI standards for the total microbial count of
dialysate shall not exceed:
