the dialysate?
False. it is biocompatible and CLEAN. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔ True or False: Dialysate is sterile
It ultra purifies the dialysate before it goes into the dialyzer which prevents endotoxins from entering
the dialyzer/dialysate - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔ What is the purpose of the diasafe filter?
, The movement of solutes across a semipermeable membrane from higher concentration to lower. -
CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔ What is diffusion?
It is affected by concentration gradient, temperature, and countercurrent flow. - CORRECT ANSWER
✔✔✔ What is the diffusion rate affected by?
It is the movement of water from lower concentration of solutes to a higher concentration - CORRECT
ANSWER ✔✔✔ What is osmosis?
It is the use of negative and positive pressures to pull excess fluid from patient - CORRECT ANSWER
✔✔✔ What is ultrafiltration?
It is how much weight is needed to be removed to get the pt down to their EDW - CORRECT ANSWER

compartments?
Place pt in reclining position with feet elevated. Turn UF down or off. Give bolus if needed. Notify RN. -
CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔ What are the interventions for hypotension?
Shifting of electrolytes, attempting to pull large amount of fluid in short time, or going below EDW -
CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔ What causes cramping?
Turn down BFR, and turn off UF. RN give O2, and MAYBE nitro if needed. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔

That air is detected in the machine which causes the clamp to secure completely below venous
chamber. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔ What does an air detector alarm indicate?
Venous pressure too high. Caused by kinks in lines, infiltration, clots, etc. - CORRECT ANSWER ✔✔✔
What does the VP alarm indicate?
