Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Dialysate is typically clear. Cloudy or malodorous dialysate may indicate infection. Blood or feces in the dialysate may indicate organ or bowel perforation. Peritoneal dialysis does not use vascular access.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The patient with chronic kidney disease needs to adhere to a low-protein, sodium- and potassium-restricted diet. Menu choices that include large amounts of protein, potassium, and sodium in processed foods indicate that dietary teaching was not effective.
