You arrive and find a 47-year-old male patient who recently completed his peritoneal dialysis and complains of severe abdominal pain that is worsened by movement. One of the more serious complications of this type of dialysis is a bacterial infection within the peritoneal cavity. What would be the tell-tale sign that this is what is happening in this case?
A) The patient's dialysis fluid appears clear when it is drained from the peritoneal cavity rather than its normal cloudy appearance.
B) The patient has trouble urinating.
C) The patient's dialysis fluid appears cloudy when it is drained from the peritoneal cavity rather than its normal clear appearance.
