Answer to Question 1

D
In peritoneal dialysis, the peritoneum serves as the dialysis membrane. It serves some, but not all of the functions of a nephron. Dialysate is instilled into the peritoneal cavity. Homeostasis is achieved by balancing food and fluid intake with dialysis.

Answer to Question 2

D
Patients treated with hemodialysis often require supplements of water-soluble vitamins because of poor intake and losses during dialysis. Most patients do not need supplements of trace ele-ments, essential fatty acids, and fat-soluble vitamins.
