Extract:
A nurse is caring for an 8-year-old child who was recently diagnosed with chronic renal failure.
Question 1 of 5
The child's parents ask for information on hemodialysis. Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C. Hemodialysis uses an artificial membrane outside the body to clean the child's blood. This is because hemodialysis involves the process of blood being filtered through a machine that uses a synthetic membrane to remove wastes and excess fluids. This process mimics the function of the kidneys in filtering the blood.
Choice A is incorrect because hemodialysis does not use the abdominal cavity as a membrane, it uses an external artificial membrane.
Choice B is incorrect as hemodialysis does not involve the use of an electrolyte solution to clean the blood.
Choice D is incorrect because hemodialysis is not a continuous filtration process, it is done intermittently during treatment sessions.
