CORRECT ANSWERS GRADED A+
⩥Clean the machine surface immediately. Answer: 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. Answer: A dialysis
technician observes all of the below on the treatment floor, which one
poses an environment risk?
⩥An artery to a vein. Answer: A fistula connects
⩥Vitamin B12. Answer: A marker used to determine the middle
molecule clearance of a dialyzer is
⩥Cations and anions. Answer: A mixed- bed DI tank contains
⩥A glomerulus and a tubule system. Answer: A nephron is made up of
⩥An infiltration. Answer: 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. Answer: A patient who is to
receive their first dialysis treatment is prone to?
⩥bananas. Answer: 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. Answer: A reason why a dialysis
technician is to be certified is
⩥Clotting of extracorporeal circuit. Answer: A rise in transmembrane
pressure in a low flux dialyzer during hemodialysis is indicative of
⩥Never document something that someone else did. Answer: 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. Answer: A true
aneurysm can be dangerous because it
,⩥Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port?. Answer: 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. Answer: A rapid pulse of 104 beats/minute would
indicate that the patient has:
⩥500. Answer: 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. Answer: AAMI standards for the total microbial count
of dialysate shall not exceed:
⩥3-5% of EDW. Answer: Acceptable interdialytic weight gains are
⩥Less than two (2) EU/mL. Answer: According to AAMI the standard
level for endotoxins levels is
⩥4/15/2010. Answer: 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. Answer: Albumin is an important test that tells about the
patient's
⩥Vitamin B12. Answer: All of the following are phosphate binders
except:
⩥numbness and tingling. Answer: All of the following may be signs and
symptoms of an infected access except:
⩥The absence of disease producing organisms. Answer: Asepsis is
defined as
⩥1,385 mL/hr. Answer: 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. Answer: 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. Answer: Dialysate that is too hot will cause
⩥Weight at which the patient has no edema or fluid in the lungs and BP
is normal. Answer: Dry weight is defined as the
