HEMODIALYSIS BONNET TEST 2026 BANK 2 VERSIONS CURRENTLY TESTING EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH DETAILED VERIFIED ANSWERS (100% CORRECT ANSWERS /ALREADY
GRADED A+
Acute renal failure - (ANSWER)Sudden onset: illness, injury or toxin. May be temporary.
Chronic. Kidney disease - (ANSWER)Long slow process, destruction of nephrons, may not be
symptomatic until advanced stage. ESRD
ESRD - (ANSWER)End Stage Renal Disease, glomerular filtration rate decreased to 10% of normal.
Complete and irreversable.
Air embolism - (ANSWER)When air enters the bloodstream, and is carried to a vessel small enough to be
blocked. Can be fatal.
Alum - (ANSWER)Aluminum compound added to city water to make the water clearer, can build up in
HD pts, causing ARBD
ARBD - (ANSWER)Aluminum-Related Bone Disease, caused by prolonged aluminum exposure in diaysis
water, cookware, and medications. Symptoms: deep bone pain, muscle weakness, fractures.
Amyloidosis - (ANSWER)Build up of beta2-microglobulin. A starch-like protein that is removed by healthy
kidneys. Builds up in joints, bones, tissues of some pts. Symptoms: arthritis-like joint pain, bone pain.
Can be prevented/treated with high-flux dialysers.
Albumin - (ANSWER)Blood protein that regulates osmotic pressure. Low serum levals <3.5 g/dL indicates
malnutrition. Is common in HD pts, increased risk of death.
Anaphylaxis - (ANSWER)Severe reaction to allergen. Symptoms: have, itching, wheezing. May devolp
into anyphylactic shock : hypotension, cardiac arrhythmia/arrest, throat swelling, can be life threatning.
Anastomosis - (ANSWER)Another name for a surgical connection, such as AVF.

GRADED A+
Anemia - (ANSWER)Shortage of RBC's. Common in pts, caused by: insuffinceient erythropoietin, iron
deficiency, blood loss. RBC's carry oxygen to all cells in body. Symptoms: fatigue, cardiac disorders,
difficulty concentrating, reduced immmune funtion, etc. Is treated with EPOGEN.
Angioplasty - (ANSWER)Procedure where a balloon is threaded through a blood vessel, and inflated to
dialate areas of stenosis
Anterograde - (ANSWER)Means with the direction of flow (away from the anastomosis). Aterial needle
can be placed EITHER anterograde or retrograde.
Anticoagulant - (ANSWER)Heparin is a blood thinner used to prevent blood clots in circuit.
Arterial pressure - (ANSWER)Is measured as a negative pressure between the arterial access and the
blood pump. Is read as negative d/t the blood being pulled from the pt. by the pump
AVF - (ANSWER)Arteriovenous Fistula. A surgical connection of an artery and a vein. Created in 1966 by
Dr. James Cimino and Dr. James Brescia. Is used as an access point for HD, can withstand repeated
punctures of HD needles, and rapid BFR's
Artery - (ANSWER)A blood vessel that carries oxygenated blood away from the heart, to every part of
the body.
Ascites - (ANSWER)Caused by liver damage, heart failure, malnutrition. Is a buildup of fluid in the
abdomen.
Asepsis - (ANSWER)Absence of disease-producing microorganisms. Accomplished by disinfection,
maintaining equipment, using aseptic technique for invasive procedures.
AAMI - (ANSWER)Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumention. Develops voluntary
standards for various aspects of treatmen, max levals of water contamination, methods of dialyzer
reporocessing.
