A 14-year-old girl is preparing to have hemodialysis performed due to end-stage renal disease. The patient asks what a fistula provides during the procedure. Identify the correct reason for the use of the fistula.
 
  1. A fistula is responsible for filtering during the hemodialysis.
   2. The fistula contains a vein and artery, which allows the blood access so the hemodialysis can be performed.
   3. A fistula is a hole where the dialysis team can monitor laboratory tests easier.
   4. A fistula is placed in the peritoneal area, and the patient can be hooked up to it at night.
