actions should the dialysis technician take?
About one ounce (30 ml) fluid is on the floor - ANSWERA dialysis technician
observes all of the below on the treatment floor, which one poses an environment
risk?

Vitamin B12 - ANSWERA marker used to determine the middle molecule clearance
of a dialyzer is
Cations and anions - ANSWERA mixed- bed DI tank contains
A glomerulus and a tubule system - ANSWERA nephron is made up of
An infiltration - ANSWERA 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 - ANSWERA patient who is to receive their first
dialysis treatment is prone to?
bananas - ANSWERA 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 - ANSWERA reason why a dialysis technician is to be
certified is
Clotting of extracorporeal circuit - ANSWERA rise in transmembrane pressure in a
low flux dialyzer during hemodialysis is indicative of
Never document something that someone else did - ANSWERA 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 - ANSWERA true aneurysm
can be dangerous because it
Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port? - ANSWERA 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 - ANSWERA rapid pulse of 104 beats/minute would indicate that the
patient has:
500 - ANSWERA patient's dry weight is 154.0 (70kg) and the patient's pre treatment
