Hemodialysis is performed for the end-stage kidney disease patient. Data that indicate treatment effectiveness would be: 1. a rise in hemoglobin and hematocrit. 2. a fall in glucose and sodium levels. 3. a fall in potassium, creatinine, and urea levels. 4. an increased alertness and a sense of well-being.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking which data indicate effective treatment for a patient undergoing hemodialysis due to end-stage kidney disease. It presents several options that describe potential outcomes related to blood and electrolyte levels.
Answer
A fall in potassium, creatinine, and urea levels.
The final answer is a fall in potassium, creatinine, and urea levels.
Answer for screen readers
The final answer is a fall in potassium, creatinine, and urea levels.
More Information
Hemodialysis effectively removes waste products such as urea and creatinine from the blood, which naturally leads to a decrease in their levels.
Tips
A common mistake is to assume glucose and sodium reductions are primary goals of dialysis, but the focus is on waste substances like creatinine and urea.
