CCHT TEST 2027 COMPREHENSIVE ANSWERS AND
QUESTIONS SET A+
✔✔Hemostasis - ✔✔The cessation of bleeding due to clotting. In dialysis, hemostasis
refers to the cessation of bleeding from a needle site.
✔✔hyperkalemia - ✔✔An excess of potassium in the blood caused by dietary
indiscretion, certain medications, internal bleeding, cellular injury or blood transfusion.
✔✔Muscle weakness, nausea, and vomiting - ✔✔What are symptoms of hyperkalemia?
✔✔Hypertension - ✔✔High blood pressure is signs of?
✔✔Movement of blood from a needle site into the surrounding tissue that occurs when
the needle pierces the vessel wall. - ✔✔What is infiltration?
✔✔Swelling around the insertion site and pain - ✔✔Symptoms of infiltration?
✔✔A mathematical measurement of the adequacy or dialysis treatment, which
considers protein intake and the amount of urea removed from the patient. - ✔✔What is
kt/v?
✔✔Nephron - ✔✔The functional unit of the kidney
✔✔Osmosis - ✔✔The movement of fluid across a semipermeable membrane from an
area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute concentration. Movement
occurs until equilibrium is reached:
✔✔pH - ✔✔The measure of the acid-base status of a solution. PH stands for potential
of hydrogen
✔✔An electrolyte necessary for bone formation, energy transfer, andneuromuscular
function - ✔✔What is phosphorus?
, ✔✔Very thin flexible sheets of material, such as cellophane, with pores that allow
smaller particles or molecules to pass through while blocking larger ones. - ✔✔What is
semipermeable membrane?
✔✔A condition caused when the surgical diversion of the arterial blood supply through
the vascular access deprives the distal portion of the access extremity of oxygenated
blood. - ✔✔What is steal syndrome?
✔✔A narrowing of blood vessels due to the build up of hypertrophic tissue, anatomical
narrowing if the vessels, or surgical technique problems. - ✔✔What is stenosis?
✔✔Rapid heart beat - ✔✔What is Tachycardia?
✔✔Controlled fluid removal achieved by increasing or decreasing the amount of fluid
moves across a semipermeable membrane by controlling hydrostatic pressure -
✔✔What is ultrafiltration?
✔✔A waste product of protein metabolism affected by dietary intake. - ✔✔What is urea?
✔✔A vitamin that helps the body produce normal size cells with strong cell walls. -
✔✔What is vitamin B-12?
✔✔A vitamin that, in its active form helps maintain the balance of blood calcium and
phosphorus with calcium and phosphorus stored in the bones. - ✔✔What is vitamin D?
✔✔A slow heart rate - ✔✔What is bradycardia?
✔✔Hypertension - ✔✔One sign and symptom of fluid overload?
✔✔Osmosis - ✔✔Water moves across a membrane from an area of lower solute
concentration to an area of higher solute concentration by which principle?
✔✔Diffusion - ✔✔Waste products are removed during dialysis by which principle?
✔✔Ultrafiltration - ✔✔Excess fluid is forced out of the blood and into the dialysate
during dialysis by which principle?
✔✔Osmosis - ✔✔The movement of fluid from the tissue towards higher concentration of
sodium in the blood is an example of
✔✔Diffusion - ✔✔Decreasing the patient's prescribed blood flow rate affects the rate of?
