B. Report the patient's symptoms to the health care provider.
C. Elevate the patient's arm on pillows above the heart level.
D. Teach the patient about normal arteriovenous graft function. - answers -ans: b
The patient's problems suggest the development of distal ischemia (steal syndrome)
and may
Require revision of the avg. Elevating the arm above the heart will further decrease
Perfusion. Pain and coolness are not normal after avg insertion. Aspirin therapy is not
used
To maintain grafts.

Which assessment finding should the nurse expect when a patient with acute kidney
injury
(aki) has an arterial blood ph of 7.30?
A. Persistent skin tenting
B. Rapid, deep respirations
C. Hot, flushed face and neck
D. Bounding peripheral pulses - answers -ans: b
Patients with metabolic acidosis caused by aki may have kussmaul respirations to
eliminate
Carbon dioxide. Bounding pulses and vasodilation are not associated with metabolic
acidosis.
Because the patient is likely to have fluid retention, poor skin turgor would not be a
finding in
Aki.

In patients with aki and does not accurately reflect kidney function. Creatinine alone is
not
An accurate reflection of renal function.
