Q

Risk factors for AKI

A
  • pre-existing CKD or renal problems
  • post surgical, trauma(hypotensive episode)
  • use of contrast dyes
  • overuse of medications
  • sepsis/ septic shock
  • older age
  • hx of heart disease and or diabetes

16
Q

Assessment- initial findings of AKI

A
  • decreasing urine output; <30ml/hr is minimum
  • increasing azotemia(BUN)
  • electrolyte imbalnce
  • get hx, physical assessment and labs to diagnose
17
Q

diagnostic test

A
  • BUN - osmolality-serum and urine
  • Cr - electrolytes(hyperkalemia)
  • ABG’s> r/o metabolic acidosis
18
Q

Potential complications and treatments

A
  • fluid overload; fluid restriction, diuretics, renal replacement therapies
  • metabolic imbalance
  • electrolyte imbalance/ acid base imbalnce
  • infection; renal replacement therapies, antibiotics
19
Q

Fluid restriction nursing management

A
  • monitor pts weight
  • measure I and O
  • diuretics
  • dialysis; if needed
20
Q

Metabolic imbalance management

A
  • diet; limit protein, sodium, and potassium Increase carbs!
  • daily wts
  • monitor serum protein and albumin levels
  • monitor mental status changes
  • monitor stools
21
Q

Hyperkalemia management

A

cardiac dysrhythmias
- cardiac monitoring, kayexalate, ca gluconate, insulin and glucose combo, dialysis
ABGs> metabolic acidosis
- dialysis

22
Q

Hypo/ hypernatremia management

A

-neuro changes> neuro assessment frequently
- hypernatremia is more common; use hypotonic IV solution

23
Q

Nursing priorities AKI
- prerenal pt dx w/ AKI secondary to sepsis

A
  • assess labs in urine; protein, cr, uric acid, glucose
  • place pt on continuous cardiac monitoring
  • assess vs
  • assess labs in blood; BMP,HGB,Cr, GFR, BUN, Albumin
  • normal saline bolus
  • initate/ monitor I and O
  • start an IV
  • administer antibiotics
24
Q

Renal replacement therapy purpose

A
  • ultrafiltration
  • removal of excess fluid
  • removal of waste
25
Q

Types of renal replacement therapy

A
  • hemodialysis
  • continuous renal replacement therapy
  • peritoneal dialysis
26
Q

Hemodialysis; nursing considerations

A
  • diet; increase carbintake, limit protein and fluids
  • monitor wt before and after therapy
  • labs, access site, monitor vs
  • complication; hypokalemia and dehydration
27
Q

Arteriovenous Fistula nursing consideration

A
  • no BP on affected arm
  • no blood draws on affected arm
  • no tight clothing
  • assess for thrill and bruit daily
28
Q

Peritoneal dialysis

A
  • dialysis fluid is introduced through peritoneum
  • done at home vs dialysis center; may be done overnight making it less restrictive of daily activities
  • risk of peritonitis; practice aseptic technique
29
Q

chronic kidney disease; complex pt characteristics

A

occurs when the kidneys cannot remove wastes or perform regulatory functions
- progressive, irreversible deterioration of renal function
- results from many different causes

30
Q

reduction in kidney function or kidney damage that has been present for at least 3 months
- gradual loss of renal function from primary renal conditions or diseases produces long-term renal insult
- ongoing process of renal injury> irreversible

A

chronic kidney disease

31
Q

CKD clinical manifestations

A
  • anemia
  • metabolic acidosis
  • calcium and phoshorus imbalnce
  • uremia> no urine output
32
Q

primary issues of CKD

A
  • anemia
  • cardiovascular disease
  • bone disorders
  • fluid and electrolyte imbalnce
33
Q

Nursing implications for CKD

A
  • dialysis will be required
  • HTN is likely
  • fluid restriction and dietary restrictions
  • hypoxia associated w/ anemia
  • increased risk of infection
  • GI disturbances impact nutritional status
34
Q

Hyperkalemia can cause

A
  • cardiac dysrhythmias
  • need continuous cardiac monitoring
