CHT Bonent Exam (New 2026/ 2027
Update) Questions & Answers {Grade A}
100% Correct (Verified Solutions)
Ph - Correct answer Dialysate ph must be close to blood ph so it doesn't change ph of
blood (7.0-7.4)
Normal blood ph is 7.35-7.45 (weak base)
Bleach PH is 11
White vinegar PH is 2.9
Bypass mode - Correct answer Can be triggered by low/high conductivity alarms, ph,
and temp also by blood leak alarms
Pyrogen filter - Correct answer After the proportioning system dialysate flows through
this filter to remove and "bad" bacteria and endotoxins
Neuropathy in HD patients may be caused by - Correct answer Waste that is not
removed during tx.
,Normal pulse ox reading - Correct answer Is higher than 90%
A low pulse ox in a dialysis patient could mean - Correct answer The patient has steal
syndrome

Arrthymia - Correct answer irregular heartbeat
Dyspnea - Correct answer shortness of breath
Apnea - Correct answer absence of breathing
Afebrile - Correct answer without fever
Febrile - Correct answer fever
Kuf - Correct answer Ultrafiltration coefficient, how water permeable a dialyzer is and
how much fluid can pass through the membrane at a given pressure
, High flux dialyzer - Correct answer Have a kuf greater than 15
How to manual find the tmp - Correct answer Pt hourly UF rate divided by the dialyzer
Kuf
Technician role in pruritus - Correct answer Ask nurse about oatmeal bath or abeeno
soap
Take phosphate binders
Urge pts to come to tx and stay
Pericarditis - Correct answer Painful swelling of sag around heart, can be heard
