Answer to Question 1

A
Hemodialysis takes 3 to 6 hours each time and is usually performed three times a week. The client must be weighed before and after each session to determine that amount of fluid to remove.

Answer to Question 2

D
Extravasation is the leakage of chemotherapeutic drugs from the vein into the surrounding tissues. This is a serious complication of the administration of intravenous (IV) vesicants that can lead to blistering or necrosis of the involved tissue.
