answer Home based Flexible schedule
Fewer diatary restrictions

Procedure when useing hemostatic sponges such as SureSeal? - answer Remove
the hemostatic sponge after hemostasis has been acheived and dress needle site w
bandaid or gauze
- answer Two weeks
Why should a pt be in a comfortable supine position when performing Pre dialysis
CVC care? - answer The supine position increases pressure with in central veins
and diminishes the risk of an air embolism
Flipping the arterial vascular access needle - answer Is not necessary since all
arterial needles now have a back eye

AV graft and hear whistling sound could be indicative of - answer
An outflow stenosis KDOQI rule of 6s - answer Provides
guidelines for use of new AV fistula
To prevent the formation of aneurysms in pseudo aneurysm the following should
be practice - answer Good needle site rotation in complete needle site clotting
techniques
During cannulation of all AV fistula's - answer A tourniquet is to be applied to
increase vein engorgement and stabilize vessel
What is an important action prior to returning a patient's blood using the hand
crank in the event of a power failure - answer Remove the venous line from the
line clamp
What problems will cause a more negative (high-pressure alarm) pre-pump
arterial pressure - answer Kinking of the arterial blood line between the
vascular access in the arterial monitor
What problems will cause an increase in venous pressure - answer Clotting of the
Venus drip chamber
Which statement is true regarding the "reason of prudent" standard of care -
answer When supervising patient care technicians and other non-licensed

also meet the standard of care
