Sterile means - (answers)free of all living microorganisms and spores
clean means - (answers)not sterile, but disinfected such as a clean dialysis chair
contaminated means - (answers)that a sterile or clean item has come in contact
with non-sterile object
dirty means - (answers)neither sterile or clean, but visibly contaminated
Alcohol-bases hand rubs must contain - (answers)60-95% ethyl alcohol, isopropyl
alcohol, or a combination of both
How long should you wash your hands for? - (answers)20 seconds
PPE includes what? - (answers)gloves, gowns, masks, protective eye gear

environmental surfaces are cleaned with appropriate disinfectant such as a bleach
solution - (answers)1:100 one part bleach and 99 part water
for visible blood or gross blood spills, a ______ bleach solution must be utilized -
(answers)1:10 1 part bleach and 9 parts water
when preparing patient assignments, teammates who care for confirmed or
suspected hep B surface antigen (HBsAg) positive patient(s) will only be assigned
to simultaneously care for surface - (answers)antibody positive (immune) patients
Although dialysis is a complex procedure, it is based on simple principles -
(answers)use of a semipermeable membrane, diffusion, ultrafiltration,
convection, and osmosis
what are the 3 treatment goals to achieve in dialysis? - (answers)1. Remove waste
from the blood
2.remove excess water from the blood
3. balance blood electrolytes
semipermeable membrane - (answers)thin sheet of natural or synthetic material
that allows some small particles to pass through, while blocking other, larger
ones.

what is a dialyzer and the 2 compartments - (answers)artificial kidney and blood
site and dialysate site
what happens if the blood site and dialysate site mix? - (answers)= blood leak
what is dialysate (3 things)? - (answers)RO water, acid bath, and bicarbonate
what is an extracorporeal circuit? - (answers)bloodline, saline, and dialyzer=set up
What is diffusion? - (answers)movement of dissolved particles across a
semipermeable membrane from the side with the higher concentration to the
side with the lower concentratio n.
What is ultrafiltration? - (answers)removes water from the blood by pushing it
across the semipermeable membrane
What is convection? - (answers)or solute drag is when solutes move with the
water across the semipermeable membrane.
What is osmosis? - (answers)is the movement of water across a semipermeable
membrane from the side with the lower solute concentration to the side with the
higher solute concentration

After a chemical disinfection with bleach, how do you verify that the machine is
free of residual bleach before you start setting up? - (answers)check the fluid
from the drain hose with residual chlorine test strip
What is an acceptable test result when verifying the absence of residual bleach? -
(answers)less than or equal to 0.5ppm
What is strikethrough? - (answers)Saline rises in transducer allows for inaccurate
readings. The back of transducer is checked for wet. If wet can contaminate
machine. Pull for bio med.
what is the only fluid we use to prime the blood lines and dialyze? -
(answers)sodium chloride 0.9% (normal saline)
what is proportioned dialysate? - (answers)even amounts of RO water, acid bath
and bicarbonate
The manual conductivity must match the dialysis delivery system displayed
conductivity_________ - (answers)+/- 0.4 mS of the theoretical conductivity (TCD)
for Fresenius delivery systems
The maximum recirculation time after a machine has been set up prior to
treatment
initiation cannot exceed _____ hours. - (answers)2 hours
