AAMI standard for conventional dialysis requires the total microbial count to be less thanANS200 CFU/mL
abnormal levels of this electrolyte can cause cardiac arrhythmias and even deathANSPotassium
Acceptable interdialytic weight gains areANS3-5% of TW
The AAMI standard for endotoxin levels in conventional daily's are isANSLess than 2 EU/mL
albumin is an important test that tells about the patient------------statusANSnutritional
All of the follow are phosphate binders EXCEPTANSVitamin B12
numbness and tinglingANSNot a sign or symptom of an infected access
AsepsisANSAbsence of disease producing organisms
AAMI chemical analysis of water used for hemodialysis is testedANSAnnually
A 58- year old patient who is blind comes to treatment accompanied by his wife. What approach should the dialysis tech use when interacting with the patient?ANSDescribe the activities in the immediate environment
A dialysis technician observed a drop of blood on the surface of a patient's machine. What action should the tech take?ANSClean the machine surface immediately
About one ounce (30 ml) fluid is on the floorANSA dialysis technician observes all of the below on the treatment floor, which one poses an environment risk?
A females dialysis technician has been caring for a male patient for several months. The patient tells the dialysis tech that he is lonely and depressed. He asks the tech to go out to dinner with him. In addition to politely declining the patients invitation, what action should the dialysis technician take?
ANSRefer the patient to the social worker
A fistula connectsANSan artery to a vein
A marker used to determine the middle molecule clearance of a dialyzer isANSVitamin B12
A mixed bed DI tank containsANScations and anions
Nephron is made up ofANSA glomerulus and a tubule system
A patient complains of pain at venous needle site. The dialysis technician observes there is swelling distal to the venous needle site and that the venous pressure is rising. The tech should suspectANSAn
infiltration
A patient who is to receive their first dialysis treatment is prone toANSdialysis disequilibrium syndrome
a patient tells the technician that the dietitian reviewed high-potassium foods with her. during the conversation she states she routinely eats the following food. which one is highest in potassium?
ANSbananas
slow pulse of 54 beats/minute would indicate the patient has:ANSbradycardia
A reason why a dialysis technician is to be certified is:ANSIt's a CMS requirement
A rise in transmembrane pressure in a low flux dialyzer during hemodialysis is indicative ofANSclotting in the extracorporeal circuit
A teammate asks you to document the normal saline he just gave to Mr. Smith. You wouldANSnever document something that someone else did
A true aneurysm can be dangerous because itANSmay rupture and cause the patient to bleed profusely
