__________ during the treatment can cause suboptimal blood and oxygen delivery
(inadequate perfusion) to organs like the heart and brain. This is known as "organ
stunning" and can cause irreversible organ damage. - ANS - hypotension

0.9% Sodium Chloride - ANS - It is used during the hemodialysis treatment for many
reasons including priming the extracorporeal circuit, rinsing the dialyzer, returning blood

a arteriovenous fistula(AVF) is created by.... - ANS - a vascular surgeon (or approved
provider) connecting an artery to a vein (called anastomosis) most commonly in the
upper extremity
A comprehensive re-assessment of each patient and a revision in the plan of care will
be conducted at least ___________________ for stable patients - ANS - annually
A dialysate temperature too cold - ANS - s not life threatening but can chill the patient
and cause hypothermic symptoms and may decrease diffusion
A false aneurysm, also called _____________________ is characterized by blood
trapped under the skin surrounding an area of the AVG. It indicates graft damage due to
,repeated needle insertion into the same area of the graft without allowing for sufficient
time for old insertion sites to heal. - ANS - pseudoaneurysm
A follow up _________ re-assessment will be completed to evaluate patient's status and
provide information to adjust the patient's plan of care. - ANS - 90 day
A healthy person will respond to _____________ with an increase in pulse rate which
leads to an increase in cardiac output and an improved blood pressure. - ANS -
hypovolemia (low blood volume)
A localized, blood-filled dilation (balloon-like bulge) of a blood vessel caused by
weakening and thinning of the vessel wall is called an ____________________. - ANS
- aneurysm
A needle _______ with ________ can happen while performing venipuncture or during
the treatment. - ANS - Infiltration, hematoma
a new AVG may be used ________ after placement and require _____ to initiate
cannulation for the first time. - ANS - 2-3 weeks and a physician order
A newly created arterio-venous fistula will require a - ANS - smaller needle size and
lower BFR
A physical examination _________ of the patient's access is always performed prior to
each dialysis treatment. - ANS - Look, Listen, & Feel
A possible intervention for a venous needle infiltration that is localized and not
increasing in size or severity is to clamp and secure the infiltrated needle and
re-cannulate the access __________the infiltrate. - ANS - above
A quiet access where no thrill is present and the bruit is gone means that the access is
clotted and should not be __________________. - ANS - cannulated
A sudden increase in BP can be caused by a...... - ANS - Renin response due to
dehydration
a traditional ____ per week dialysis schedule only replaces about _____ of healthy
kidney function and it is therefore one of our prime responsibilities to assist patients to
receive every minute of their ordered treatment, to give every patient the lifesaving gift
of staying healthy and living longer - ANS - 3, 15%
, access assessment: feel - ANS - the thrill (vibration) along entire access of AVF and
AVG should be soft and compressible, not hard and raised
access assessment: listen - ANS - the bruit which is a continuous whooshing sound
which sounds like rushing water
Access Assessment: look - ANS - observe the skin for cleanliness and intactness,
observe for presence of drainage, observe healing of previous needle insertion sites
