CCHT Practice Test 5.0: Hemodialysis Review Questions
annually - ANSWERAAMI Chemical Analysis of water used for hemodialysis is
tested
Clean the machine surface immediately - ANSWERA 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 - ANSWERA dialysis technician
observes all of the below on the treatment floor, which one poses an
environment risk?
An artery to a vein - ANSWERA fistula connects
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:
