Chapter 40: Fluid, Electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance




A dialysis unit nurse caring for a client with renal failure will expect the client to exhibit which fluid and

electrolyte imbalances?

You Selected:

 fluid volume excess and acidosis

Correct response:

 fluid volume excess and acidosis

Explanation:

Fluid volume excess can be caused by malfunction of the kidneys (i.e., renal failure). The kidneys are also

responsible for acid-base balance, and in the presence of renal failure, the kidneys cannot regulate hydrogen

ions and bicarbonate ions, so the client develops metabolic acidosis.
