Answer to Question 1

A
Patients treated with peritoneal dialysis have higher dietary protein needs that those treated with hemodialysis because more protein is lost into the dialysate. Maintenance of the peritoneum does not significantly increase protein needs and patients are not necessarily more active. Peritoneal dialysis is not more efficient than hemodialysis for removing nitrogenous waste.

Answer to Question 2

D
The type of peritoneal dialysis in which the patient receives four or five exchanges of dialysate every day, each dwelling in the peritoneal cavity for about 4 hours, is called continuous ambula-tory peritoneal dialysis.
