Practice Question
The nurse is providing care to a client who just returned from hemodialysis. The nurse should assess for the following
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Muscle cramps
Rationale:
♦ After hemodialysis, clients often experience fluid and electrolyte shifts, leading to muscle cramping.
♦ Cramping is caused by rapid fluid removal and electrolyte changes, especially sodium.
♦ Peritonitis and hernias are complications of peritoneal dialysis, not hemodialysis.
♦ Neuropathy is more chronic and typically develops from long-term kidney disease, not immediately post-dialysis.
♦ Monitoring includes assessing for fatigue, BP changes, cramping, and bleeding from the access site.
