Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 4

The nurse should determine that a signed consent has been obtained. It is the health care provider's responsibility to explain the need for peritoneal dialysis. The procedure is generally performed using only a local anesthetic, so pre-procedure sedation is not generally used. The health care provider usually orders the dialysate the day before inserting the catheter because it takes time to prepare it. If the nurse were to order it just before insertion, it is unlikely it would be ready in time.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Dialysate is the solution instilled during dialysis. The solution is an electrolyte solution, but it is called dialysate. Tenckhoff is the name of the peritoneal catheter. Dialysis refers to the type of procedure.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
