Dialysis

Osmosis is the movement of:

• Solutes from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
• Fluid from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration
• Solutes from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration
• Fluid from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration

What are the four scientific principles necessary for dialysis to occur?

• Diffusion, osmosis, filtration and ultrafiltration
• TMP, Diffusion, Osmosis and filtration
• Blood compartment, dialysate compartment, arterial pressure and venous pressure
• Arterial pressure, venous pressure, TMP and ultrafiltration

What are the goals of hemodialysis?

• Removal of waste products
• Regulation of fluid balance
• Correction of electrolyte and acid/base balance
• All of the above

Dialysate is composed of what?

• Acid, bicarbonate and tap water
• Bicarbonate, acid and RO water
• Bicarbonate, Granuflo and city water
• Treated water and acid

Hypotonic dialysate can cause what complication?

• Crenation
• No complication
• Hemolysis
• Blood leak

Heparin is a medication that does what?

• Dissolves clots
• Prevents clots
• Forms clots
• None of the above

What labs listed below measure adequacy?

• Pre & Post Hemoglobin
• Pre & Post Potassium
• Sodium
• Blood Urea Nitrogen

What does not affect adequacy?

• Blood flow rate
• Dialysate
• Goal
• Vascular Acces

Hypertonic Dialysate can cause:

• a dialyzer to clot
• crenation
• fluid to build up
• hemolysis
