Answer to Question 1

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Hemodialysis requires the client to remain connected to dialysis machinery, whereas peritoneal dialysis allows for activity during treatment. Dialysis does not disqualify an individual from receiving a transplant. Dialysis does not require attendance at a dialysis center, and patients can be taught to perform the dialysis in their home with a family member in attendance. Hemodialysis is normally conducted three times weekly, not once per day.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D

Feedback:

Respiratory acidosis is accompanied by renal adaptation with a more marked increase in plasma HCO3- and a lesser decrease in pH. Her pH is likely below 7.35, and the likely renal response involves the reabsorption of HCO3- and secretion of H+. Excess CO2 production is not a common manifestation of obstructive lung disease.
