annually - ANS AAMI Chemical Analysis of water used for hemodialysis is tested

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 - ANS A dialysis technician observes all of the
below on the treatment floor, which one poses an environment risk?
An artery to a vein - ANS A fistula connects
Vitamin B12 - ANS A marker used to determine the middle molecule clearance of a dialyzer is
Cations and anions - ANS A mixed- bed DI tank contains
A glomerulus and a tubule system - ANS A nephron is made up of
An infiltration - ANS 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

is prone to?
bananas - ANS A patient tells the technician that the dietician reviewed high potassium foods

Clotting of extracorporeal circuit - ANS A rise in transmembrane pressure in a low flux dialyzer
during hemodialysis is indicative of
,Never document something that someone else did - ANS 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 - ANS A true aneurysm can be dangerous
because it
Was the predialysis sample drawn from the venous port? - ANS 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?
Tachycardia - ANS A rapid pulse of 104 beats/minute would indicate that the patient has:
500 - ANS 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?
200 CFU/mL - ANS AAMI standards for the total microbial count of dialysate shall not exceed:
3-5% of EDW - ANS Acceptable interdialytic weight gains are
Less than two (2) EU/mL - ANS According to AAMI the standard level for endotoxins levels is
4/15/2010 - ANS According to the new Conditions for Coverage, all dialysis technicians are to
be certified by a national certifying agency or state specific certification by:
Nutritional - ANS Albumin is an important test that tells about the patient's
Vitamin B12 - ANS All of the following are phosphate binders except:
numbness and tingling - ANS All of the following may be signs and symptoms of an infected
access except:
The absence of disease producing organisms - ANS Asepsis is defined as
1,385 mL/hr - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS Dialysate that is too hot will cause
, Weight at which the patient has no edema or fluid in the lungs and BP is normal - ANS Dry
weight is defined as the
Disconnection of the bloodline - ANS During a hemodialysis treatment the technician responds
to a low venous pressure alarm. The most likely cause for this alarm is:
Blood - ANS Biohazardous waste includes any material exposed to:
Diffusion - ANS Decreasing the patient's prescribed blood flow rate affects the rate of
Stop the pump - ANS 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 - ANS Dialysate pH should be:
Clamp the venous line - ANS 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? - ANS During predialysis data collection,
it would be best for the technician to ask the patient which of these questions?
Take the patient's temperature - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS ESRD specific tests such as
BUN, Creatinine, and URR are
Ultrafiltration - ANS Excess fluid is forced out of the blood and into the dialysate during dialysis
by which principle
Percent rejection - ANS Feed conductivity- product conductivity divided by x 100 is the formula
calculation of
The ultrafiltration rate - ANS Fluid to be removed divided by the treatment time tells us
Inadequate dialyzer priming - ANS Germicide rebound occurs due to:
Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reaction) - ANS Hives, itching, tightness of the chest and
respiratory distress may be signs and symptoms of:
