Answer to Question 1

The blood is diverted through an access to the client's circulatory system, which routes blood through the artificial kidney, or dialyzer, for removal of wastes, fluids, and electrolytes, and then the blood is returned to the client's body. Hemodialysis is usually done 3 times a week for 3-5 hours at a time.

Answer to Question 2

The woman will achieve an appropriate weight gain during pregnancy; consume appropriate nutrients; use nursing measures to cope with nutrition-related discomforts; avoid consuming alcohol, illegal drugs, caffeine, and tobacco; prepare for successful breastfeeding or bottlefeeding.
