Study Notes
- Pyelonephritis can occur acutely or chronically and is caused by common bacteria.
- Glomerulonephritis is an inflammatory disorder caused by infectious conditions and is twice as common in males.
- Chronic glomerulonephritis is a slow, progressive disease that can lead to renal failure.
- Polycystic renal disease is an inherited disorder that causes the formation of multiple bilateral kidney cysts.
- Kidney and ureteral stones can be caused by various factors and can result in severe flank pain.
- Ureteral strictures can be caused by chronic ureteral stone formation.
- Renal tumors are almost always cancerous.
- Renal failure can be acute or chronic and can result in various symptoms and complications.
- Kidney transplantation can be an option for those with end-stage renal disease.
- Preventive measures, hemodialysis, and diet modifications are among the medical management options for renal disorders.
- There are different methods of dialysis, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis.
- Arteriovenous fistula and arteriovenous graft are vascular access methods for hemodialysis.
- Nursing management of dialysis includes preparing for vascular access and monitoring for complications.
- Disequilibrium syndrome is a potential complication of dialysis.
- Nursing management of dialysis involves inspecting the skin over the fistula or graft for signs of infection.
- The nurse should palpate for a thrill or listen for a bruit over the vascular access.
- After dialysis, injections should not be administered for 2 to 4 hours.
- The nurse should observe for disequilibrium syndrome before discharging the client.
- Peritoneal dialysis uses the peritoneum and can be done continuously or intermittently.
- Nursing management of peritoneal dialysis involves the procedure of instillation and drainage.
This quiz will test your knowledge on various renal disorders and the medical management options available. You'll learn about conditions like pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, and polycystic renal disease, as well as dialysis methods like hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. The quiz will also cover nursing management for dialysis patients, potential complications, and post-dialysis care. Get ready to enhance your understanding of renal disorders and their treatment options!
