Question 5 of 5
A client diagnosed with chronic kidney disease (CKD) has learned about managing diet and fluid restriction between dialysis treatments. The nurse determines that the client is compliant with the therapeutic regimen when the assessment demonstrates a weight gain of no more than how many kilograms between hemodialysis treatments?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The primary health care provider will prescribe the amount of fluid that the client is allowed to gain between dialysis treatments, but usually a limit of 1 to 1.5 kg of weight gain between dialysis treatments helps prevent hypotension that tends to occur during dialysis with the removal of larger fluid loads. The nurse determines that the client is compliant with fluid restriction if this weight gain is not exceeded.
