2026(ACTUAL EXAM PROCTORED THROUGH EXAMLIFY)
| 100 QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (SCREENSHOTS) |
SCORED 100% | PASS GUARANTEED
Potassium retention in pt with AKI could be fatal. What should you do
with an elevated potassium?
Calcium given IV
Glucose and insulin given IV
Kidney dialysis (fastest way to pull it out)
Sodium bicarbonate
Diuretics
Get pt on a monitor
Cardiac monitoring
thrill and bruit
Feel the thrill (vibration) and hear the bruit (whoosh whoosh)
(Renal replacement therapy-Hemodialysis) Vascular access
arteriovenous fistula, arteriovenous graft
,Stage 3 CKD
mild to moderate kidney damage, kidneys don’t work as well as they
should
eGFR 30-59
Can you pass meds with a hemodialysis catheter?
blood only; can NOT do a med pass through it
Peritoneal dialysis fluid color
Clear.
fluid should never be cloudy : sign of peritoneal infection
Polystyrene sulfonate (kayexalate)
used for hyperkalemia
binds to potassium to reduce K in the blood
(T/F) Use strict asepsis with catheter
True. high infection risk with foley use
,(T/F) Anuria is a total urine output of less than 30 mL/h in a 24-hour
period.
False. (anuria is total urine output less than 50 mL in 24 hours. Oliguria is
urine output less than 400 mL in 24 hours or less than 0.5 mL/kg/h over
6 hours.)
After a kidney transplant
immunosuppressants for life. asepsis
gout an inflammatory arthritic condition that results in
the crystalizing of uric acid in the joints. Preventative low purine diet.
Drinking tart cherry juice (home remedy).....sugary things produce more
uric acid. Allopurinol
Assessing the GU of a male
water-based lube (bladder scan) and a stethoscope (I couldn't change
it!)
, UTI can cause
AMS (altered mental status), falls = get a urine sample. In women tx with
abx can cause yeast infections (risk). We can have habits that help
prevent UTIs but treatment now will not treat future infections. (read the
whole question **)
Nursing intervention for pt with UTI
antibiotics, frequent voiding (don't hold your pee)
Assessment of pt with UTI.
Assessment of urine, urinalysis, and urine cultures.
pH of urine
4.6-8
specific gravity
1.010-1.030
