Certified Clinical Hemodialysis Technician (CCHT) Practice Exam

During hemodialysis, it is crucial for nurses to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment and the patient's condition. This involves closely monitoring the patient's vital signs, laboratory results, and overall response to the dialysis session. Assessing how well the treatment is working helps ensure that the patient is receiving the appropriate amount of dialysis necessary to remove toxins and excess fluid from the blood.

Additionally, evaluating the patient’s condition allows nurses to identify any potential complications early on and adjust treatment protocols as needed to maintain patient safety and improve outcomes. This continuous assessment is vital for optimizing care and ensuring that each patient receives individualized attention tailored to their specific health status and needs.

While staff performance, market trends, and cost of supplies are relevant in the broader context of healthcare management, they do not directly pertain to the immediate clinical care that nurses provide during hemodialysis sessions. The primary focus should always remain on the patient and the clinical outcomes of the treatment being delivered.
