◉ Clean the machine surface immediately.
Answer: A dialysis technician observes a drop of blood on the
surface of a patient's hemodialysis machine. Which of these actions
should the dialysis technician take?
◉ About one ounce (30 ml) fluid is on the floor.
Answer: A dialysis technician observes all of the below on the
treatment floor, which one poses an environment risk?
◉ An artery to a vein.
Answer: A fistula connects
◉ Vitamin B12.
Answer: A marker used to determine the middle molecule clearance
of a dialyzer is
◉ Cations and anions.
Answer: A mixed- bed DI tank contains
,◉ A glomerulus and a tubule system.
Answer: A nephron is made up of
◉ An infiltration.
Answer: A patient complains of pain at the venous needle site. The
dialysis technician observes there is swelling distal to the venous
needle site and that the venous pressure is rising. The dialysis
technician should suspect
◉ Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome.
Answer: A patient who is to receive their first dialysis treatment is
prone to?
◉ bananas.
Answer: A patient tells the technician that the dietician reviewed
high potassium foods with her. During the conversation she states
she routinely eats the following foods. Which one is highest in
potassium?
◉ It's a new Federal regulation.
Answer: A reason why a dialysis technician is to be certified is
◉ Clotting of extracorporeal circuit.
,Answer: A rise in transmembrane pressure in a low flux dialyzer
during hemodialysis is indicative of
◉ Never document something that someone else did.
Answer: A teammate asks you to document the normal saline he just
gave to Mr. Smith. You would:
◉ May rupture and cause the patient to bleed profusely.
Answer: A true aneurysm can be dangerous because it
◉ Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port?.
Answer: A patient's laboratory results indicate that the predialysis
BUN level was lower than the post dialysis BUN level. When
interpreting these findings the technician should seek the answer to
which of these questions?
◉ Tachycardia.
Answer: A rapid pulse of 104 beats/minute would indicate that the
patient has:
◉ 500.
Answer: A patient's dry weight is 154.0 (70kg) and the patient's pre
treatment weight is 158.4. (72kg). For a four- hour treatment, how
many mL/ hour must the patient lose to reach dry weight?
, ◉ 200 CFU/mL.
Answer: AAMI standards for the total microbial count of dialysate
shall not exceed:
◉ 3-5% of EDW.
Answer: Acceptable interdialytic weight gains are
◉ Less than two (2) EU/mL.
Answer: According to AAMI the standard level for endotoxins levels
is
◉ 4/15/2010.
Answer: According to the new Conditions for Coverage, all dialysis
technicians are to be certified by a national certifying agency or state
specific certification by:
◉ Nutritional.
Answer: Albumin is an important test that tells about the patient's
◉ Vitamin B12.
Answer: All of the following are phosphate binders except:
