Dialysis
Dialysis ( 46 Questions)
This statement is incorrect. Hypermagnesemia (elevated magnesium levels) can be a concern in ESRD, but it is not a primary indication for initiating dialysis. Magnesium levels can be managed through dietary restrictions and medications without the need for dialysis.
This statement is incorrect. Hyperphosphatemia (elevated phosphorus levels) is a common issue in ESRD, but it is not a primary indication for initiating dialysis. Clients with ESRD may receive phosphate binders to control phosphorus levels without necessarily needing immediate dialysis.
This statement is incorrect. Hyperkalemia (elevated potassium levels) is a concern in ESRD, but it is not the primary indication described in the scenario. While hyperkalemia may occur with fluid overload, the primary concern in this case is the hypervolemia and its associated symptoms.
Hypervolemia (severe fluid overload) is a critical indication for initiating dialysis in clients with end-stage renal disease. Dialysis helps remove excess fluid from the body and can relieve symptoms such as pulmonary edema and hypertension.
