Answer to Question 1

D
Hemodialysis uses a semipermeable membrane through which the client's blood circulates. Standard Precautions must be followed and strict asepsis maintained for the entire process. Hemodialysis takes 3 to 6 hours each time and is usually performed three times a week. Possible complications include hemorrhage, infection, and emboli formation.

Answer to Question 2

A
Positional plagiocephaly or flattened head syndrome, is a condition in which one side or the back of the head is flattened. This can be caused when the infant is put to sleep in the same position repeatedly or by neck muscle problems.
