• Just because the label says “0” does not mean the strip will read to zero

• Strips only read to the lowest 0NUMBER on the range: 0.5 =

only reads to less than 0.5C /• Critical that strips/ reagents be sensitive “enough” to detect unsafe levels

CDC recommends all dialysis patients:• Be tested at least once for baseline

tuberculin skin test results (TST) and tuberculin skin test results (TST) and re-screened if TB exposure is detected. Chest x-rays may be used y yas an option.

• Be offered influenza and l i d th t th i pneumococcal vaccine and that their

immunization history be tracked.

Medication historyMedication history

• Should include a review of the patient’s allergies and of all medications including over themedications including over-the-counter medications and supplements that the patient is pp ptaking.

• The assessment should demonstrate th t ll t di ti that all current medications were reviewed for possible adverse effects/interactions and continued

How Is This Supposed to Work? pp• PA: identifies intradialytic weight gains

(IDWG) of greater than 12 (IDWG) of greater than 12 pounds/treatment

• POC: • IDT members (all) to work with patient on

risks of excessive fluid gains and (RD) on ways to handle thirstways to handle thirst

• Agree to a goal for IDWG to be reduced by 10% each week until goal of no greater than 5 pounds is reached 5 pounds is reached

• Monitor IDWG each treatment. Praise positive actions (RN, PCT)

32

• If IDWG remains at same levels at end of one month, review and revise POC
