2026/2027 WITH
VERIFIED ANSWERS
Blood test for ferritin are preformed in hemodialysis patients -
ANSWER >>To check for iron stores.
What phosphate binders would best control hyperphosphatemia with the
fewest side effects in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESRD)? -
ANSWER >>Lanthanum carbonate are prefered because there is less
toxicity.
True or False: Hemodialysis patients should be taught to put in their own
needles, weigh themselves and record it, check their dialyzer settings and
dialysate? - ANSWER>>True
True or False: dialysis does not remove water-soluble vitamins -
ANSWER >>False
Osmosis is best defined as - ANSWER>>Diffusion of solvent through a
semipermeable membrane from low-to high-solute concentration
In hemodialysis,blood and dialysate have which of the following properties.
- ANSWER>>They flow in opposite directions
In the dialyzer, water may be removed from: - ANSWER>>The
, intravascular compartment.
Which site in the hemodialysis pathway has the highest positive pressure?
- ANSWER>>Blood entering the dialyzer fibers
The term "sieving coefficient of the membrane " refers to the: -
ANSWER>>Fraction of solute that passes through the membrane by
convection
Water moves from one body compartment to another by -
ANSWER >>Osmotic forces
Biocompatibility is best illustrated by - ANSWER >>Reprocessed dialyzers
that have a better biocompatible then new ones
The amount of fluid to be taken from the patient during hemodialysis: -
ANSWER>>May be calculated by subtracting the estimated dry weight
from the predialysis weight and adding any fluid received during treatment.
The ultrafiltration coefficients of a dialyzer refers to the: - ANSWER>>The
fluid that passes through the membrane in one hour.
True or False: Albumin molecules will not pass through the dialyzer
membrane into the dialysate? - ANSWER >>True
Clearance of low-molecular-weight molecules by dialysis is accomplished
mostly by - ANSWER>>Diffusion
What properties does a hollow fiber dialyzer contain? - ANSWER>>Very
fine fiber tubes held in place by polyurethane material
Synthetic membranes have which of the following properties?
a. They are cellulose membranes in which hydroxyl groups are replaced
with acetate.
b. They have thick fiber walls.
