Post by: Jendo on May 19, 2016
The nurse suspects that a patient with acute kidney injury will not be prescribed peritoneal dialysis because:

1. Peritoneal dialysis takes too much time to remove body wastes.
2. The excess fluid in the peritoneum can negatively impact the patient’s breathing.
3. There are poorer outcomes from using peritoneal dialysis.
4. The patient has hypertension.
5. The patient has a potassium level of 5.5 mEq/L.
