BONENT STAR REVIEW QUESTIONS
WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS 2024
What is the job of a Patient Care Technician (PCT)? - Correct Answer-To monitor
patient care and assist patient in recieving safe andeffective dialysis.
What is CKD? - Correct Answer-Chronic Kidney Disease
What is the main goal of dialysis treatment? - Correct Answer-To acheive the highest
level of wellness possible by removing wastes and excess liquid from the blood.
Who makes up the dialysis team - Correct Answer-Technicians,Nurses, Dieticians,
Social Workers, Doctors & Patients.
What are some factors which affect one's overall health? - Correct Answer-Age, Activity
Level, Treatment Plan, Other Illness & Support System.
Which are the two most common types of Dialysis? - Correct Answer-Periotoneal (PD)
and Hemodialysis (HD).
How is ESRD treated? - Correct Answer-Dialysis
What 3 functions does dialysis replace? - Correct Answer-1. Removes wastes from
blood,
2. Removes excess fluid,
3. Balaces electrolyes.
What are electroyles? - Correct Answer-Electrolytes are the salts in the body. The most
common salts are sodium ions, potassium ions, and chloride ions that carry an electrical
charge.
Why are electrolytes important? - Correct Answer-The electrolytes in the blood serum
produce an electrical charge, which permit cells to preform their normal functions.
what happens if the electrical charges amongst the electrolyes become unbalanced? -
Correct Answer-The nerve and muscle cells within the body, including the brain, may
fail to conduct nerve impulses, leading to cramps and confusion. Further electrolyte
imbalances can lead to heart failure, siezures or water retention.
What is an Ion? - Correct Answer-An electrically charged particle
What is a dialyzer? - Correct Answer-A synthetic or organic devise that serves as the
artificial kidney. It has a blood compartment and a dialysate compartment.
, What does the dialyzer permit? - Correct Answer-It allows for the counterflow of
dialysate and blood, which are seperated by a semipermiable membrane or hollow
microfibers.
Describe the flow of fluids through the dialyzer. - Correct Answer-Blood flows through
the microfibers (blood compartment) and dialysate flows around the microfibers
(dialysate compartment).
What is a semipermiable membrane? - Correct Answer-A barrier with microscopic pores
which allow for the passage of some substances but not others, depending on size.
In (HD) Hemodialysis, what is the delivery system? - Correct Answer-The dialysis
machine.
What does the delivery system control? - Correct Answer-Blood flow (Extraction and
Return), Saftey Parameters, Dialysate Mixing and the Delivery of Dialysate.
Typically, how often is HD preformed? - Correct Answer-Three times per week, 4 hours
each treatment.
How much kidney function does (HD) dialysis replace? - Correct Answer-About 15% of
kidney function is restored through Hemodialysis.
Can HD be done independantly at home? - Correct Answer-Yes, short treatments 5 to 6
times per week or longer treatments at night 3-7 days a week.
When was the first CELLULOSIC MEMBRANE used for dialysis? - Correct Answer-In
1943, by Willem Kolff in a rotating drum.
The greatest advancements in primitive dialysis were made during which three year
period? - Correct Answer-The Korean War 1950-1953
Who created the "shunt"? - Correct Answer-(1960) Dr. B. Scribner
What is a shunt? - Correct Answer-A form of vascular acess by which the artery and
vein are linked extracorporally by a plastic tube.
Why are shunts rarely used today? - Correct Answer-There is a high risk of infection
and clotting.
Six years after the shunt was created, who pioneered the fistulae procedure? - Correct
Answer-(1966) Dr. James Cimino
What is a AV fistula or native fistula? - Correct Answer-An arteriouvenus connection
underneath the skin between a vein and an artery.
