The functional unit of the kidney, Nephron
or the structure in the kidney
that does the work, is the:
A nephron is made up of: A glomerulus and a tubule
The endocrine functions of the Making erythropoietin and the active form of vitamin D
kidney includes:
The leading cause of End-Stage Diabetes
Renal Disease for adult in the
United States is:
Patients with kidney failure often Hyperphosphatemia
complain of itching, which is
likely to be caused by:
Why do kidney patients often Kidneys stop producing calcitriol
have bone disease?
Symptoms that a patient may Anorexia, fatigue, swelling
need more dialysis time include:
A semipermeable membrane is a Allow for only certain sized particles to cross
porous barrier that:
Diffusion is movement of From an area of higher concentration
particles:
Negative pressure is pressure Fluid is pulled through a restriction
created when:
During dialysis, ultrafiltration Water is removed from blood because there is a pressure
occurs when: gradient between blood and dialysate
At which point in the The arterial line section before the blood pump
extracorporeal circuit is the
blood usually under negative
pressure?
Which of the following will High concentration gradients
increase the amount of solutes
that will diffuse across the
semipermeable membrane?
, The components of the dialysate Dialysate flow, time of treatment, dialyzer size, blood flow rate
treatment that affect clearance
includes:
Two things that affect the Surface area and molecular weight cutoff
dialyzer's ability to remove
wastes from the body include:
Dialysate is the fluid that help Bicarbonate, Sodium, Potassium
remove waiste products from
the body. It contains a number
of substances. What are the
substances that might be
prescribed for a dialysate
solution?
What is the most important The dialysis technician
safety monitor during a dialysis
treatment
Dialysate conductivity measures: The total electrical charge of a solution
Dialysate that has too much Headache, high BP, and shriveling of RBCs (crenation)
sodium may cause patient injury.
Too much sodium or
hypernatremia can cause:
Dialysate that has too much Vomiting, confusion, irritability
calcium can cause:
Dialysate that has too little Low BP, cramping, and bursting of RBCs (hemolysis)
sodium can cause:
-Treatment time
Things that affect dialysis -BFR
adequacy are: -DFR
-Dialyzer clotting/inadequate heparinization
Normal body temp. taken orally 98.6 degrees F
is:
_______ is the instrument use to Sphygmomanometer
measure blood pressure
A rapid pulse of 104 beats/min Tachycardia
would indicate that the patient
has:
Seizures during dialysis maybe Sudden decrease in dialyzer clearance
cause by all of the following
EXCEPT:
-Electrolyte imbalance
-Hypotension
-Sudden decrease in dialyzer
clearance
-Dialysate composition
________ is the normal range for a 60-100 beats/min.
resting pulse rate in an adult:
