Peritoneal Dialysis Process

What is the process of filtration in dialysis?

• Removing excess nutrients from the blood

• Increasing the fluid levels in the blood

• Adding waste products to the blood

• Removal of waste products and excess fluids from the blood

Explain the role of diffusion in the dialysis process.

• Diffusion has no role in the dialysis process.

• Diffusion causes the dialysis solution to move into the blood through a semipermeable membrane.

• Diffusion allows waste and excess substances to move from the blood into the dialysis solution through a semipermeable membrane.

• Diffusion only allows substances to move from the dialysis solution into the blood.

How does osmosis contribute to the dialysis process?

• Osmosis leads to the removal of excess water only

• Osmosis facilitates the movement of waste and excess substances

• Osmosis causes the movement of essential nutrients

• Osmosis has no impact on the dialysis process

What are the different types of dialysis membranes and their characteristics?

• Paper-based, fabric, and wood membranes with different absorbency and texture

• Cellulose-based, synthetic, and high-flux membranes with varying permeability, biocompatibility, and clearance characteristics.

• Metal-based, plastic, and glass membranes with similar characteristics

• Low-flux, medium-flux, and ultra-flux membranes with varying colors

Describe the peritoneal dialysis process and its advantages.

• Peritoneal dialysis is a process that uses the skin to filter waste from the blood. Its advantages include frequent hospital visits and limited treatment schedule.

• Peritoneal dialysis involves using the lungs to filter waste from the blood. Its advantages include strict dietary restrictions and inability to perform at home.

• Peritoneal dialysis is a process that uses the peritoneum in the abdomen to filter waste and excess fluid from the blood. Its advantages include flexibility in treatment schedule, fewer dietary restrictions, and the ability to perform at home.

• Peritoneal dialysis is a process that uses the liver to filter waste from the blood. Its advantages include limited flexibility in treatment schedule and the need for constant medical supervision.

Why is filtration important in the dialysis process?

• To add more waste products to the blood

• To remove waste products and excess fluids from the blood

• To decrease the efficiency of the dialysis process

• To introduce excess fluids into the blood

Discuss the significance of diffusion in dialysis.

• Diffusion causes an increase in waste products in the blood

• Diffusion allows for the removal of waste products from the blood

• Diffusion has no impact on the removal of waste products from the blood

• Diffusion only removes excess nutrients from the blood

Explain how osmosis is utilized in the dialysis process.

• Osmosis allows the movement of solutes and water across a semipermeable membrane to remove waste and excess fluid from the blood.

• Osmosis only allows the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane

• Osmosis is not utilized in the dialysis process

• Dialysis process does not involve the movement of solutes and water

Compare and contrast the different types of dialysis membranes.

• Consider factors such as temperature, humidity, and wind speed.

• Consider factors such as brand, price, and availability.

• Consider factors such as pore size, material composition, and permeability.

• Consider factors such as color, weight, and taste.

What are the key steps involved in the peritoneal dialysis process?

• Using a blood pressure monitor, checking blood sugar levels, and taking a nap

• Taking oral medication, applying a heating pad, and resting in bed

• Eating a large meal, drinking plenty of water, and going for a walk

• Catheter insertion, filling the abdomen with dialysis solution, dwell time, and draining the used solution
