- DaVita Dietitian Reference Manual Module 9 - Counseling Skills CASE STUDIES Case 1 Sandy is a 28 year old female patient who is new to dialysis and is having difficulty adjusting to her diagnosis of chronic kidney failure. She has poor vision as a result of poorly controlled diabetes for over 15 years. She has had excessive fluid weight gains between her first two treatments. What is your approach to counseling and what tools would you use? Case 2 Smiley is a 90 year old gentleman who is new to dialysis. He is hard of hearing and speaks little English. He lives with his wife who also has limited comprehension of the English language. His daughter states that he has a diagnosis of multiple myeloma. How would you plan for counseling Smiley about his new diet regimen and what materials would you use?arrow_forwardDaVita Dietitian Reference Manual Module 12--Peritoneal Dialysis CASE STUDIES Case 1 A 38 year old female patient with polycystic kidney disease is here for a clinic visit. She presents with the following labs: albumin 3.5, Hgb 12.1, Corrected Ca 10.8 (3rd time 10.2), Phosphorus 6.9, K 5.4. Her weight is 185 lbs and she is 6'1" tall. She reports a good appetite and weight has been stable. Two months ago, intact PTH was 1972. She has been counseled numerous times on the importance of controlling calcium and phosphorus, however, she loves milk and cheese. She is on Rocaltrol 0.25 mcg/day. She takes Renvela 800 mg as her phosphate binder, using 3 with meals and 2 with snacks, and she is adherent. Her nephrologist has just prescribed Sensipar 30 mg q dinner. What is your care plan for this patient and what nutritional counseling and patient education would you provide?

- DaVita Dietitian Reference Manual Module 12--Peritoneal Dialysis 1. 2 3. 4 5 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. REVIEW QUESTIONS True False With PD, there is a greater responsibility for patients to monitor their own dialysis than with hemodialysis. The higher the dextrose concentration in the PD solution, the more fluid removed and the more calories absorbed. PET testing is used to measure peritoneal dialysis adequacy. PD is contraindicated in diabetics due to the high glucose load of PD solutions. Malnutrition is prevalent among PD patients due to protein losses through the peritoneal membrane. This protein malnutrition contributes to increased morbidity and mortality. Sodium and phosphorus are restricted in the diet for PD patients, however potassium intake is usually more liberal than for HD patients. Protein losses are greater during peritonitis. The calories absorbed from dialysate are negligible. Insulin can be given intraperitoneally, if necessary. PD patients are at risk for high triglycerides…arrow_forwardDaVita Dietitian Reference Manual REVIEW QUESTIONS Module 8-Anemia Management True False 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. The renal vitamin should be taken daily and after dialysis on hemodialysis days. An adequate supply of vitamins B12, folate, and B6, as supplied by the renal vitamin, is needed for red blood cell production. The start dose for Epogen therapy is based on body weight and hemoglobin level. A patient's Iron Saturation (ISAT) is 15% and Ferritin is 95 ng/mL. This indicates absolute iron deficiency. A patient's Ferritin is 1200 ng/mL. This may be due to iron excess, infection, inflammation, or multiple transfusions. The healthy liver produces the hormone erythropoietin, necessary for red blood cell production in the bone marrow. A high normal or high MCV (close to or greater than 100 um³/cell) suggests a deficiency of B12 and/or folate. The DaVita Dietitian should reinforce taking the renal vitamin and timing it properly. The renal vitamin contains vitamin A in order to…arrow_forwardDaVita Dietitian Reference Manual Module 9-Counseling Skills REVIEW QUESTIONS 1. 2. 3. 4. 9 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. True False It is not appropriate to sit down when counseling patients. It is appropriate to use small, less technical terms when educating patients. The environment or surroundings play a role in effective patient counseling. Renal diet education can be completed in one thirty-minute session. If a patient cannot communicate, it is acceptable to eliminate the diet instruction. It is not possible for a hemodialysis patient to follow a vegetarian diet. Using audiotapes or large print materials might be beneficial in educating patients with visual impairments. Frequently missed or shortened treatments are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. It is acceptable to label a patient 'noncompliant' in the medical record. Social and financial concerns have little effect on the patient's ability to adhere to the treatment regimen.arrow_forward
- DaVita Dietitian Reference Manual Module 8-Anemia Management CASE STUDIES Case 1 Peter is new to hemodialysis. His renal failure is due to hypertension. He weighs 120 kg. Prior to admission to the dialysis facility, he did not receive Procrit, Aranesp or Epogen (EPO). His bloodwork includes: • Hemoglobin = 9.0 mg/dL • Iron Saturation (ISAT) = 15% Fernüin = 95 ng/mL HD SHAPE 5.1 was ordered by the physician. What are your recommendations? Case 2 Sandy is new to hemodialysis. Her renal failure is due to diabetes. During the month prior to admission to the dialysis facility, she received Procrit (2000 units, once a week which is comparable to Epogen at the same dose). She weighs 65 kg. Sandy has an infection on her foot due to diabetes Her bloodwork includes the following. Hemoglobin = 9.4 mg/dL Iron Saturation (ISAT) = 25% Ferritin = 1230 ng/mL HD SHAPE 5.1 was ordered by the physician. What are your recommendations? What factors are affecting this patient's response to erythropoietin?arrow_forwardQuestion 1: Between the 1850’s and 1930’s, physicians gained authority and status. What is one condition or event that led to this? Starr mentions many conditions or events that led to physicians gaining authority and status, just post one (Consult the Starr textbook, Chapter 3). Question 2: Due to the litigious nature of medicine, physicians often order more tests (lab, X-ray, CT, MRI, EKG, etc.) than the standards of care suggest. This is sometimes referred to as “defensive medicine.” Additionally, a significant amount of a physician’s income is used to pay malpractice/liability insurance. If health care reform initiatives considered capping or limiting the physician’s liability to keep health care costs down, how could it be done?arrow_forwardwhat is the implications of high bp and low bp in respiratory medicinearrow_forward
