infection when working with a central venous catheter (CVC) by wearing a facemask,
washing hands and wearing clean gloves, and avoiding touching dirty surfaces when
providing CVC care.

gains between treatments and can contribute to post dialysis hypertension and
headaches.

safe for discharge after the dialysis treatment, evaluate the effectiveness of the
treatment by comparing data to pre-dialysis findings.

pump speed and drawing the post-treatment blood sample would cause the Kt/V
reading to be falsely high
Viable MRSA bacteria - ANSWER-✔Can remain on surfaces for days with plastic and
vinyl being most favorable to their survival.

fluid weight gains between treatments and can contribute to post dialysis
hypertension and headaches.

Seizure during dialysis - ANSWER-✔Discontinued if the seizure is severe or the
patient does not respond to treatment.
Left side Trendelenburg position - ANSWER-✔To be used for a patient who
experienced an air embolism.
K of the Kt/V formula - ANSWER-✔Decreased by inadequate anticoagulation.
Signs of air embolus - ANSWER-✔Pain at the venous needle site, tingling around the
lips, and difficulty breathing.
A disinfectant infusion - ANSWER-✔A solution used to eliminate pathogens during
dialysis.
Impending cardiac arrest - ANSWER-✔A critical condition where the heart is about
to stop functioning.
Pre-dialysis patient assessment - ANSWER-✔An evaluation performed by the nurse
to ensure patient safety before treatment.
Unusual data collection findings - ANSWER-✔Any abnormal results that the PCT
must report to the nurse before treatment initiation.
AKI (Acute Kidney Injury) - ANSWER-✔A condition where a pre-treatment nursing
assessment is always required.
Intradialytic hypotension - ANSWER-✔A common occurrence during hemodialysis
that can lead to impaired tissue perfusion and organ injury.
BFR (Blood Flow Rate) - ANSWER-✔The rate at which blood is circulated through
the dialysis machine, measured in mL/min.
V-tags for CSM surveys - ANSWER-✔Regulations that provide interpretive guidance
and cite deficiencies in patient care.
