Adolescents who require dialysis
Question 1 of 5
What is the advantage of teaching to the family about continuous cycling peritoneal dialysis (CCPD) or continuous ambulatory peritoneal (CAPD) for adolescents who require dialysis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale:
Correct
Answer: B - Adolescents can carry out procedures themselves
Rationale: Teaching adolescents about CCPD or CAPD allows them to perform dialysis procedures independently. This promotes self-management, fosters independence, and empowers adolescents to take control of their own healthcare. It also enables them to adhere to their treatment regimen more effectively, leading to improved outcomes and quality of life.
Incorrect
Choices:
A: Hospitalization is only required several nights per week - This is incorrect as CCPD and CAPD are home-based dialysis methods that do not require hospitalization.
C: Dietary restrictions are no longer necessary - This is incorrect as dietary restrictions are still important for individuals undergoing peritoneal dialysis.
D: Insertion of a catheter does not require surgical placement - This is incorrect as the insertion of a catheter for peritoneal dialysis does require a minor surgical procedure.
