An investment banker, with chronic renal failure, informs the nurse of the choice for continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis. Which is the best response by the nurse?
A) "The risk of peritonitis is greater with this type of dialysis."
B) "This type of dialysis will provide more independence."
C) "Peritoneal dialysis will require more work for you."
D) "Peritoneal dialysis does not work well for every client."
B
Feedback:
Once a treatment choice has been selected by the client, the nurse should support the client in that decision. Continuous cyclic peritoneal dialysis will provide more independence for this client and supports the client's decision for treatment mode. The risk of peritonitis is greater, and symptoms should be discussed as part of the management of the disorder. Peritoneal dialysis is an effective method of dialysis for many clients.
