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.
