Question

Mrs. Jasper has end-stage chronic renal disease (ESRD). She missed two dialysis sessions when her husband became ill and was unable to drive. In addition to having clinical manifestations of numerous imbalances detected at her next dialysis session, Mrs. Jasper says her skin is very itchy. Based on her statement about itching, what additional assessment(s) should you perform?

Answer 1

A urea analysis of her bloodstream should be done

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because most people who have renal failure usually have itching problems. The build up of urea in the bloodstream causes the itching.

Due to Mrs. Jasper having end-stage chronic renal disease (ESRD) and missing two dialysis sessions it is safe to say urea analysis should be done.
