A client with type 1 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and chronic kidney disease is to begin hemodialysis treatment. Which statement should the nurse include in client education?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Insulin dosage may need reduction during hemodialysis as the dialyzer removes insulin, lowering blood glucose. The other options are incorrect: abdominal catheters are for peritoneal dialysis, medications may need adjustment, and potassium-rich foods should be limited.
