Case summary:
Person MC came with her daughter who was suffering from strep pain and she was diagnosed with a strep throat using a rapid strep test. The child was given penicillin and ready for discharge. Nurse X entered the patient's room and discussed with Person X on the discharge summary and instructions. Nurse X instructed her with the prescription of 10 doses of penicillin.
Person MC said that she could not afford the medication and the prescription to be filed. Then, Nurse X told Person MC that it is necessary to take the medication and file the prescription because strep throat may lead to glomerulonephritis and rheumatic fever. Person MC asked Nurse X to elaborate on the disease regarding the percentage of recovery and the chances of her daughter to develop these complications where Nurse X was not comfortable being the sole and primary informer even though she was aware of the basic information about the conditions.

At his first treatment, the nurse hooks up the bloodlines to an access in David's chest. He tells her that he had surgery on his arm three months ago so it can be used for dialysis eventually. 1. What type of access does David have for the initial treatment? 2. Is David's arm access most likely a graft or fistula? 3. What possible reasons prevent use of a fistula or graft for the first dialysis treatment? Case 2 Ramon, a hemodialysis patient for six years, has lost 1.5 kg over the past six weeks. He denies nausea or vomiting, but does admit to eating less at meals and skipping dinner some days. Current dialysis prescription is: 3 1/2 hours (210 minutes), 3 times a week, ASAHI 1050S, APS dialyzer, dialysis flow rate 800 ml/min, blood flow rate 400 ml/min.

Urea Reduction Ratio is a more accurate measurement of dialysis adequacy than Urea Kinetic Modeling. A fistula is the preferred type of vascular access. In the formula Kt/V, the V represents volume of total body water in which urea is distributed. In the formula Kt/V, time is measured in 15-minute increments, so 220 minutes would be rounded off to the nearest quarter hour. The DaVita minimum goal for adequacy is a spKt/V≥ 1.0. A measured height and accurate dry weight are required to obtain an accurate Kt/V result. A very low post BUN result usually means the patient is not eating enough protein. KRU is a measure of residual urea clearance by the patient's kidney, requiring a 24-hour urine collection. The Kt/V Delivered (single pool) is the value used for determining adequacy and comparing outcomes in DaVita facilities. Catheters are…arrow_forward
