ATI RN Pediatric Nursing 2023 Questions
Extract:
A nurse is caring for an 8-year-old child who was recently diagnosed with chronic renal failure. The child's parents ask for information on hemodialysis.
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following statements should the nurse make?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because hemodialysis uses an artificial membrane outside the body to clean the patient's blood. This process involves the blood being filtered through a machine that contains a semipermeable membrane, allowing waste products and excess fluids to be removed.
Choice A is incorrect because the abdominal cavity is not used as a membrane in hemodialysis.
Choice B is incorrect as hemodialysis does not involve using an electrolyte solution to clean the blood.
Choice D is incorrect because hemodialysis involves periodically filtering the blood, not continuously.
Therefore, the nurse should make statement C to accurately explain the process of hemodialysis.
