QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The absence of disease producing organisms - Answer-Asepsis is
defined as
1,385 mL/hr - Answer-Based on Mrs Smith's total amount of fluid to be
removed, what is the ultrafiltration rate per hour (mL/hr) for her 4 hour
treatment?
Discard the needle - Answer-Before a hemodialysis treatment, the
technician removes the cap from the fistula needle and accidentally
touches the chair with the tip of the needle. Which of these actions
should the technician take first?
Hemolysis - Answer-Dialysate that is too hot will cause
Weight at which the patient has no edema or fluid in the lungs and BP is
normal - Answer-Dry weight is defined as the
Disconnection of the bloodline - Answer-During a hemodialysis
treatment the technician responds to a low venous pressure alarm. The
most likely cause for this alarm is:
Blood - Answer-Biohazardous waste includes any material exposed to:
, Diffusion - Answer-Decreasing the patient's prescribed blood flow rate
affects the rate of
Stop the pump - Answer-During a hemodialysis treatment, a patient's
venous needle infiltrates. Which of these actions should the dialysis
technician take first?
Between 7.0 and 7.4 - Answer-Dialysate pH should be:
Clamp the venous line - Answer-During hemodialysis, the air detector
on Ms. Foster's machine alarms and foam is visible in the venous drop
chamber. The immediate action of the dialysis technician should be to:
How have you been since your last dialysis treatment? - Answer-During
predialysis data collection, it would be best for the technician to ask the
patient which of these questions?
Take the patient's temperature - Answer-During the hemodialysis
treatment, a patient complains of feeling chilled. In addition to getting
the patient a blanket, which of these actions should the technician take?
Notify the equipment technician - Answer-During the set up of a
hemodialysis machine, the alarm test for conductivity fails. Which of
these actions should the dialysis technician take?
Indicators of the adequacy of the renal replacement therapy - Answer-
ESRD specific tests such as BUN, Creatinine, and URR are
,annually - Answer-AAMI Chemical Analysis of water used for
hemodialysis is tested
Clean the machine surface immediately - Answer-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?
About one ounce (30 ml) fluid is on the floor - Answer-A dialysis
technician observes all of the below on the treatment floor, which one
poses an environment risk?
An artery to a vein - Answer-A fistula connects

molecule clearance of a dialyzer is
Cations and anions - Answer-A mixed- bed DI tank contains
A glomerulus and a tubule system - Answer-A nephron is made up of
An infiltration - Answer-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
, Dialysis Disequilibrium Syndrome - Answer-A patient who is to receive
their first dialysis treatment is prone to?
bananas - Answer-A patient tells the technician that the dietician
reviewed high potassium foods with her. During the conversation she
states she routinely eats the following foods. Which one is highest in
potassium?
It's a new Federal regulation - Answer-A reason why a dialysis
technician is to be certified is
Clotting of extracorporeal circuit - Answer-A rise in transmembrane
pressure in a low flux dialyzer during hemodialysis is indicative of
Never document something that someone else did - Answer-A
teammate asks you to document the normal saline he just gave to Mr.
Smith. You would:
May rupture and cause the patient to bleed profusely - Answer-A true
aneurysm can be dangerous because it
Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port? - Answer-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?
