Sherpath -Overview Of Chronic Kidney Disease BSN 246.
A nurse would expect to see which result upon taking the
blood pressure (BP) of a patient with a known diagnosis of
chronic kidney disease (CKD)?
90/60
This is a low blood pressure and would not be seen in a patient with CKD.
110/70
This is a normal BP and would not be seen in a patient with CKD.
130/88
This is a borderline high BP and would not be seen in a patient with CKD.
180/100
This is a very high BP and would be seen in a patient with CKD due to sodium
and water retention.
Question 2 of 6
A patient with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has had lowered
glomerular filtration rate (GFR) levels for months. The most
recent levels were recorded as 14 mL/min. What should the

nurse expect to be the next recommendation for this patient?
Paracentesis
Paracentesis removes excess fluid from the peritoneal cavity due to liver
disease; this procedure is not relevant to CKD.
Hemodialysis
Hemodialysis is a treatment to remove excess fluid, wastes, and electrolytes in a
patient with end-stage renal disease and a GFR of 14 mL/min.
Loop diuretics
Loop diuretics do not remove excess fluid from patients with CKD.
Intravenous fluids
The patient does not have adequate renal function to tolerate intravenous fluids.
Question 3 of 6
What should the nurse include when educating a group of
middle aged adults about CKD?
Receive a yearly influenza vaccination
Although it is important to have routine vaccinations, the flu does not increase a
person’s risk for developing CKD. Therefore, the nurse will not include this in
the presentation.
