✔✔Notify the nurse of the need for an assessment - ✔✔Mrs. Smith arrives for dialysis
treatment complaining of shortness of breath. Her pre dialysis weight is 4.7 kilograms

weight. Which of the actions should the dialysis technician take next?
✔✔5,540 mL - ✔✔Mrs Smith dry weight is 62 kg. Her pretreatment weight when she
came in for treatment on Monday was 67 kg. The priming saline amount is 240 mL, the
rinseback amount is 200mL, fluid from medication is 100 mL, and she is not allowed any
fluids during treatment. What is the total amount of fluid weight to be removed during
her treatment?
✔✔Trendelenburg position on left side - ✔✔Ms Foster complains of shortness of breath.
While calling for the nurse the dialysis technician notices there is air in the
extracorporeal circuit she/he should place Ms Foster in:
✔✔Air - ✔✔One reason that normal saline is used to rinse and prime the extracorporeal
circuit prior to treatment is to remove:

machine is working properly, the dialysis technician should expect which of these
events to have occurred?
✔✔Sterilant infusion - ✔✔Pain at the venous needle site, along with respiratory difficulty
and chest pain could be an indicator of:
✔✔Hypertension - ✔✔One sign and symptom of fluid overload is
✔✔Hypo-osmole - ✔✔Solutions that have a higher similarity than body fluids are called?
✔✔Numbness and tingling - ✔✔Symptoms of hyperkalemia (high potassium) may
include
✔✔Before treatment, after treatment, and after giving heparin - ✔✔The accuracy of lab
results depends on adherence to proper lab draw technique. You must ensure that labs
are drawn:

Renalin is
✔✔Cleansing of the hands - ✔✔The most important intervention to prevent the spread
of infection is
✔✔Osmosis - ✔✔The movement of fluid from the tissue towards a higher concentration
of sodium in the blood is an example of
✔✔Nephron - ✔✔The functional unit of the kidney, or the structure in the kidney that
does the work, is the
✔✔Listening with a stethoscope - ✔✔The bruit in a Av fistula or graft is detected by
✔✔Temperature and transmembrane pressure - ✔✔The hemodialysis machine
continuously monitors many parameters. Which of these parameters must be verified by
an external measuring device?
✔✔65% - ✔✔The National standard, based on the KDOQI (kidney Disease Outcomes
Quality Initiative) guidelines, for the Urea Reduction Rate (URR) is a ratio greater than:
✔✔Peritonitis - ✔✔The most common complication in Peritoneal dialysis is:
✔✔Patient - ✔✔The most important member of the patient care team is the
