• bradycardia, aches in large muscles, difficulty walking

Answer:

• tachycardia, hypertension, dyspnea

Question 3: Negative pressure is pressure created when:

• fluids separated by a membrane flow in the same direction
• larger molecules drag smaller molecules across a membrane
• fluid is pulled through a restriction

Answer:

• fluid is pulled through a restriction

Question 11: Dialysate that has too much sodium may cause patient injury. Too much sodium or

hypernatremia can cause:

• headaches, high blood pressure, and shriveling of red blood cells
• low blood pressure, cramping, and bursting of red blood cells
• irregular heart beat, muscle weakness, and fatigue
• numbness, seizures, and muscle pain

Answer:

• headaches, high blood pressure, and shriveling of red blood cells
