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.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
