DIALYSIS

Question 1

A treatment that can help restore fluid, and electrolyte balance, control acid base balance, and remove toxic and waste materials

Answer 1

dialysis

Question 2

purpose of dialysis

Answer 2

sustain life in both acute and chronic situations where substitution of normal renal function is needed

Question 3

Remove excessive amount of ___ in poisoning on both an intentional and accidental in nature

Answer 3

drugs and toxins

Question 4

Correct serious ___ and ___ balances

Answer 4

electrolyte, acid base

Question 5

Maintain ____ when renal shutdown occurs as a result of transfusion reactions

Answer 5

kidney function

Question 6

Replace renal function, temporarily in persons with ___

Answer 6

ARF

Question 7

Permanent substitute for the loss of renal function in person with ___

Answer 7

ESRD

Question 8

Involves the movement of particles from an area of
greater concentration to an area of lesser concentration

Answer 8

diffusion

Question 9

Involves the movement of H2Oacross a semi
permeable membrane from an area of lesser to an area of greater concentration

Answer 9

osmosis

Question 10

The movement of fluid across a semi permeable membrane as a result of an artificially created pressure gradient.

Answer 10

ultrafiltration

Question 11

A process that involves shunting the patient’s blood from the body through a dialyzer in which diffusion and ultrafiltration occur and back into the patient’s circulation

Answer 11

hemodialysis

Question 12

access for hemodialysis

Answer 12

arteriovenous fistula
arteriovenous graft
external arteriovenous shunt
femoral vein catheterization
subclavian vein catheterization

Question 13

complications during hemodialysis

Answer 13

hypotension
muscle cramps
muscle leg syndrome
NV
headache
chest/back pain
itching
fever and chills

Question 14

a neurological complication of hemodialysis, especially when it’s first started, caused by a rapid drop in blood urea that creates an osmotic gradient, drawing fluid into the brain and causing cerebral edema and symptoms like headache, nausea, confusion, seizures, or coma

Answer 14

disequilibrium syndrome

Question 15

during hemodialysis is the breakdown of red blood cells and is a rare but potentially life-threatening complication

Answer 15

hemolytic reaction

Question 16

other serious complications of hemodialysis

Answer 16

disequilibrium syndrome
hypersensitivity reaction
arrhythmia
intracranial bleeding
seizures
hemolytic reaction
air embolism

Question 17

a procedure that involves repeated cycles of instilling dialysate into the peritoneal cavity, allowing time for substance exchange, and then removing the dialysate

Answer 17

peritoneal dialysis

Question 18

an older, less common form of dialysis where a machine is used to perform multiple exchanges of dialysis fluid into the abdomen over a set period, typically 16-24 hours, several times a week

Answer 18

intermittent

Question 19

You fill your abdomen with dialysate, let it remain there for the dwell time, then drain the fluid. Gravity moves the fluid through the catheter and into and out of your abdomen

Answer 19

continuous peritoneal dialysis

Question 20

an automated home dialysis treatment for kidney failure that uses a machine called a cycler to perform multiple fluid exchanges during the night while you sleep

Answer 20

continuous cycling

Question 21

surgical placement of a catheter into a patient’s peritoneal cavity to facilitate peritoneal dialysis

Answer 21

tenckhoff insertion

Question 22

an infection of the peritoneum, the membrane lining your abdomen, caused by bacteria or fungi entering the sterile abdominal cavity

Answer 22

peritonitis
