and the active for of Vitamin D
-The leading cause of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) for adults in the U.S.
- -Diabetes
-Patients with kidney failure often complain of itching, which is likely to be
caused by - -HyperPhosphatemia
-Why do kideny patients often have bone disease - -Kidneys stop producing
calcitriol
-Symptoms that a patient may need more dialysis time include - -Anorexia,
fatigue, swelling
-A semipermeable membrane is a porous barrier that - -allows for only
certain sized particles to cross
-Diffusion is movement of particles - -from an area of higher concentration
to an area of lower concentration
-Negative Pressure is pressure created when - -fluid is pulled through a
restriction
-During Dialysis, ultrafiltration occurs when - -Water is removed from the
blood because there is a pressure gradient between blood and dialysate
-at which point in the extracorporeal circuit is the blood usually under
negative pressure - -The arterial line section before the blood pump
-Which of the following will increase the amount of the solutes that will
diffuse across the semipermeable membrane - -High concentration
gradients
-The components of the dialysate treatment that affect clearance include - -
Dialysate flow, time of treatment, dialyzer size, blood flow rate
, -Two things that affect the dialyzer's ability to remove wastes from the body

tachycardia
-Seizures during dialysis maybe caused by - -Electrolyte imbalance,
Hypotension, Dialysate composition errors
-the normal range for a resting pulse rate in an adult is - -60 to 100
beats/min
-what will cause an increase in venous pressure during Dialysis - -venous
needle infiltraiton
-you suspect clotting in the dialyzer. The FIRST action you should take is to -
-Rinse the dialyzer with normal saline
