CCHT Practice Exam
1. annually: AAMI Chemical Analysis of water used for
hemodialysis is tested
2. Clean the machine surface immediately: 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?
3. About one ounce (30 ml) fluid is on the floor: A dialysis
technician observes all of the below on the treatment floor, which one
poses an environment risk?
4. An artery to a vein: A fistula connects
5. Vitamin B12: A marker used to determine the middle molecule
clearance of a dialyzer is
6. Cations and anions: A mixed- bed DI tank contains
7. A glomerulus and a tubule system: A nephron is made up of
8. An infiltration: 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
,9. Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome: A patient who is to receive
their first dial- ysis treatment is prone to?
10.bananas: A patient tells the technician that the dietician reviewed
high potas- sium foods with her. During the conversation she states
she routinely eats the following foods. Which one is highest in
potassium?
11.It's a new Federal regulation: A reason why a dialysis
technician is to be certified is
12.Clotting of extracorporeal circuit: A rise in transmembrane
pressure in a low flux dialyzer during hemodialysis is indicative of
13.Never document something that someone else did: A
teammate asks you to document the normal saline he just gave to Mr.
Smith. You would:
14.May rupture and cause the patient to bleed profusely: A true
aneurysm can be dangerous because it
15.Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port?: 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?
16.Tachycardia: A rapid pulse of 104 beats/minute would indicate
that the patient has:
, 17.500: 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?
18.200 CFU/mL: AAMI standards for the total microbial count of
dialysate shall not exceed:
19.3-5% of EDW: Acceptable interdialytic weight gains are
20.Less than two (2) EU/mL: According to AAMI the standard level
for endotoxins levels is
21.4/15/2010: According to the new Conditions for Coverage, all
dialysis techni- cians are to be certified by a national certifying agency
or state specific certification by:
22.Nutritional: Albumin is an important test that tells about the
patient's
23.Vitamin B12: All of the following are phosphate binders except:
24.numbness and tingling: All of the following may be signs and
symptoms of an infected access except:
25.The absence of disease producing organisms: Asepsis is
defined as
