- DaVita 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_forwardDaVita 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_forward
- Question 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_forwardwhat are the things physio check on the A to E assessment and why do they check them what are the normal values and what does it inicate if they are out of rangearrow_forward
