Feedback:
The nurse should encourage the client to breathe deeply following the dialysis treatment in order to make the client relax and feel better. The dialysate solution should be warmed using a warm-water bath, not cooled, before use. The client is often NPO (nothing by mouth) after midnight for a morning dialysis run and should not be allowed to drink water before the dialysis. The nurse should leave the solution in the peritoneum for the time specified by the physician, not for 30 minutes.
