What is the name of the support group for patients on home dialysis founded in 1969? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅The AAKP (American association of kidney patients) is the oldest and largest fully
independent kidney patient organization in the U.S. Founded in 1969 by six dialysis patients, with doctor
encouragement, our Founders helped create the End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) Program, saving more
than one million lives since 1973.
Which group was established in 1950 as a voluntary, nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing
kidney and urinary tract disease? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The National Kidney Foundation-improving
the health and well being of individuals and families affected by these diseases, and increasing the
availability of organs for transplantation.
A post TURP patient complains of spasm and pain. What should you check or consider? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅-Check catheter drainage tubes frequently for kinks that would cause bladder spasms.
-Advise the patient not to try and void around the catheter because this contributes to bladder spams.
-Belladonna and. Opus rectal suppositories are helpful to relieve bladder spasms but are. Not used in the
retro-pubic approach because rectal stimulation is contraindicated.
-Instruct him to void with the first urge to prevent increased bladder pressure against the operative site.
Adult health Pg. 467
Why does a patient with nephrosis need bed rest? Positioning helps with what? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅Maintaining bed rest in the presence of edema (recumbent position may initiate diuresis
(excessive urine)) and assessing electrolyte imbalance and assessing skin integrity.
Adult health Pg. 471
A patient with cancer who has an ostomy is recovering from a cystectomy. What should you check check
to consider? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Cystectomy-surgical removal of the bladder.
Things to consider...
-ProMotion of urinary drainage via ideal conduit
-I&Os
-30mL of urinary output every hr
-Assess skin integrity around stoma
, -Irrigate the ileal diversion catheter with 30 to 60 mL of normal saline every 4 hours or as ordered
Adult health Pg. 481
What can a patient expect post-op with a TURP? Drainage? Appliances? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-
Hematuria
-Initially, he may experience frequency, voiding small amounts with some dribbling
Adult health Pg. 467
How long does a catheter stay in after a TURP? What happens after catheter is removed? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅Typically the catheter gets removed after 24-48 hrs.
The patient may have some incontinence issues for a couple of days.
Adult health Pg. 467
What is nephrotic syndrome? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Alterations in the glomerular membrane allow
proteins, especially albumin, to pass into the urine, resulting in decreased serum osmotic pressure.
Adult Health Pg. 471
What dietary changes are required for nephrotic syndrome? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Protein
replacement using foods that provide high biological value (meat, fish, poultry, cheese, eggs)
-Restriction of sodium to decrease edema
Adult health Pg. 471
What body image changes might be expected after urinary diversion surgery? - CORRECT
ANSWER✅✅Self esteem
Adult health Pg. 482
What electrolyte is affected with Thiazide diuretic therapy? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅-Potassium-
