Answer to Question 1

375 ml
Feedback:
The nurse needs to first determine the patient's weight in kilograms by dividing 77 lb by 2.2 or 77 / 2.2 = 35 . Then the nurse should multiply the prescribed volume of dialysate by the patient's weight in kilograms or 75 ml  35 = 2,625 ml. This is the volume that the nurse will provide for the dialysate inflow. Next, the nurse needs to subtract the total inflow volume from the outflow volume or 3,000 ml  2,625 ml = 375 ml. This is the volume of peritoneal fluid that the nurse should document.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Foods that are high in potassium include bananas, carrots, nuts, and milk. Broccoli, wheat, bran, chicken, fish, and green beans are not high in potassium and do not need to be restricted.
