Name the Disorder
Grapelike cysts in place of normal kidney tissue:
Polycystic Kidney Disease
This test allows for identification of a microorganism and the most effective antibiotic to use:
Urine culture and sensitivity
Your patient has a potassium level > 6 mEq. You should immediately place this on her:
cardiac monitor – may see peaked and elevated T waves, wide QRS, and flat to absent P waves
What stage does UOP decreases to < 400 mL per day:
OLIGURIC Stage
You should educate your patient to drink this much water every day:
Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of fluids daily
Tissues must match or recipient will reject new kidney following this procedure:
Renal Transplantation
This serum test will indicate renal failure when the results show elevated sodium and elevated potassium and decreased calcium:
Serum electrolytes
Advantages include less anemia, lower cost, few dietary restrictions, and independence with this type of dialysis:
peritoneal dialysis
Kayexalate is a drug used to aggressively treat this:
Hyperkalemia
Your patient taking (Pyridium) for comfort and bladder spasms should be cautioned about this side effect:
Turns urine orange and stains clothing
Palpation of a mass in the flank is used to diagnose this:
Renal Cancer
A renal scan is done on your patient. While caring for her post procedure it is important to remember to use caution when handling this body secretion: Urine (radioisotopes/radiographs)
Urine (radioisotopes/radiographs)
The first functional loss in chronic renal failure is this:
azotemia (high BUN & creatinine), increase waste product in blood despite large amount of dilute urine
When taking care of a fluid restricted renal patient add this amount of fluid to their previous 24 hour UOP to determine their allowed intake for the day:
600 mL (insensible fluid loss)
During the acute phase of this disorder your patient will be placed on bedrest and have activity restrictions:
Acute Glomerulonephritis
A decreased urine stream is a diagnostic sign of this disorder:
Bladder Cancer
This test assesses kidney function by showing their ability to excrete urea which is an end product of protein metabolism:
Blood urea nitrogen
The passage of molecules through a semipermeable membrane into a special solution is called:
dialysate solution
This measurement performed daily by the nurse is one of the best indicators of fluid balance:
Daily weight (at same time with same scale)
You are doing some education with Ms. Jones about prevention of UTIs. You instruct her to use what hygiene measures:
wipe from front to back after toileting; void before and after sexual intercourse, void after swimming, no tight clothing, cotton underwear, no bubble baths
Blunt trauma or penetrating injuries into the abdominal cavity cause this:
Urologic Trauma
This procedure requires a signed consent and is usually completed in the OR with a physician inserting a lighted cystoscope through the urethra:
Cystoscopy
Remove end products of protein metabolism from the blood, maintain normal electrolyte levels, correct acidosis, replenish bicarb, and remove excess fluid from blood are:
GOALS OF DIALYSIS
Name the four stages of acute renal failure are:
onset (Initial), oliguria, diuresis, recovery
This disease often involves dialysis, nephrectomy, and transplantation once end-stage renal disease develops:
Polycystic Kidney Disease
