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
A dialysis technician observes all of the below on the treatment
floor, which one poses an environment risk?
An artery to a vein
A fistula connects
Vitamin B12
A marker used to determine the middle molecule clearance of a
dialyzer is
Cations and anions
A mixed- bed DI tank contains
A glomerulus and a tubule system
A nephron is made up of
An infiltration
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
A patient who is to receive their first dialysis treatment is prone
to?
bananas
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
A reason why a dialysis technician is to be certified is
Clotting of extracorporeal circuit
A rise in transmembrane pressure in a low flux dialyzer during
hemodialysis is indicative of
,Never document something that someone else did
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
A true aneurysm can be dangerous because it
Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port?
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
A rapid pulse of 104 beats/minute would indicate that the patient has:
500
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
AAMI standards for the total microbial count of dialysate shall not
exceed:
3-5% of EDW
Acceptable interdialytic weight gains are
Less than two (2) EU/mL
According to AAMI the standard level for endotoxins levels is
4/15/2010
According to the new Conditions for Coverage, all dialysis
technicians are to be certified by a national certifying agency or
state specific certification by:
Nutritional
Albumin is an important test that tells about the patient's
Vitamin B12
All of the following are phosphate binders except:
numbness and tingling
All of the following may be signs and symptoms of an infected access
except:
The absence of disease producing organisms
Asepsis is defined as
1,385 mL/hr
Based on Mrs Smith's total amount of fluid to be removed, what is the
ultrafiltration rate per hour (mL/hr) for her 4 hour treatment?
Discard the needle
Before a hemodialysis treatment, the technician removes the cap from
the fistula needle and accidentally touches the chair with the tip of
the needle. Which of these actions should the technician take first?
Hemolysis
, Dialysate that is too hot will cause
Weight at which the patient has no edema or fluid in the lungs and BP
is normal
Dry weight is defined as the
Disconnection of the bloodline
During a hemodialysis treatment the technician responds to a low
venous pressure alarm. The most likely cause for this alarm is:
Blood
Biohazardous waste includes any material exposed to:
Diffusion
Decreasing the patient's prescribed blood flow rate affects the rate
of
Stop the pump
During a hemodialysis treatment, a patient's venous needle
infiltrates. Which of these actions should the dialysis technician
take first?
Between 7.0 and 7.4
Dialysate pH should be:
Clamp the venous line
During hemodialysis, the air detector on Ms. Foster's machine alarms
and foam is visible in the venous drop chamber. The immediate action
of the dialysis technician should be to:
How have you been since your last dialysis treatment?
During predialysis data collection, it would be best for the
technician to ask the patient which of these questions?
Take the patient's temperature
During the hemodialysis treatment, a patient complains of feeling
chilled. In addition to getting the patient a blanket, which of these
actions should the technician take?
Notify the equipment technician
During the set up of a hemodialysis machine, the alarm test for
conductivity fails. Which of these actions should the dialysis
technician take?
Indicators of the adequacy of the renal replacement therapy
ESRD specific tests such as BUN, Creatinine, and URR are
Ultrafiltration
Excess fluid is forced out of the blood and into the dialysate during
dialysis by which principle
