-Format: Multiple-choice / Flashcard

Question 1: b. kinked venous bloodline

Answer:

All of the following are causes of air in the blood except

• pre-blood pump tubing collapsing related to the inadequate blood flow from the arterial needle

• kinked venous bloodline

• low levels in the drip chambers

• not removing all air during dialyzer primer

Question 2: d. 200 cfu/ml

Answer:

The maximum allowable bacteriological level in dialysate is

• 1 cfu/ml

• 2 cfu/ml

• 50 cfu/ml

• 200 cfu/ml

Question 3: d. size of dialyzer

Answer:

Factors that affect patient's treatment time include all of the following except

• frequent alarms that divert dialysate to the drain

• frequent alarms that stop the blood pump

• cutting patients treatment time

• size of dialyzer

Question 4: c. obtain a Sodium Modeling order for next dialysis

Answer:

Mrs. Smith is hypotensive pre dialysis and it has been a struggle to get her ordered dry weight. You suggest to the charge nurse the following

• use a larger surface area dialyzer

• to shorten her dialysis

• obtain a Sodium Modeling order for next dialysis

• ask the dietician to increase dietary sodium

Question 5: d. all of the above

Answer:

which vital signs must be assessed before and after every dialysis treatment

• blood pressure

• temperature

• pain level

• all of the above

Question 6: b. just before the treatment is initiated

Answer:

When should the absence of the chemical on reuse dialyzer be checked?

• once priming of the dialyzer is completed

• just before the treatment is initiated

• after the recirculation is completed

• when getting the dialyzer from the reuse personnel

Question 7: a. Hospital acquired infection

Answer:

Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) an Vancomycin Resistant Enterococcus (VRE)

can be nosocomial acquired infections. Nosocomial is defined as:

• Hospital acquired infection

• community acquire infection

• dialysis acquired infection

• none of the above

Question 8: b. no real movement happens, it just decreases blood pressure

Answer:

All of the following are true about ultrafiltration except

• it is the mechanism responsible for moving plasma water from the blood into the dialysate

• no real movement happens, it just decreases blood pressure

• it is the movement of solvent from an area of higher hydrostatic pressure to an area of lower

hydrostatic pressure

• it is the movement of solvent across a semipermeable membrane

Question 9: a. intense thirst, flushed skin, dry mucus membrane

Answer:

Hypernatremia is defined as a plasma sodium concentration of a above 146mEQ/L. It is manifested by:

• intense thirst, flushed skin, dry mucus membrane

• headaches, seizures, muscle cramps

• fever

• agitation, low body temperature

Question 10: b. monthly

Answer:

The minimum frequency for bacterial and endotoxin assay is

• weekly

• monthly

• annually

• PRN

Question 11: b. urea

Answer:

A waste product found in high concentration in the blood pre dialysis is

• bicarbonate

• urea

• water

• uremia

Question 12: b. "Part of your dialysis prescriptions includes an order for heparin, a medication that thins your blood so that the can circulate freely outside your body"

Answer:

Mr. Simmons is a new dialysis patient. This is the second time you have cannulated him. Your plans of care today include teach him him to hold his own sites. While you are returning his blood he asks you
