Assessment of the client with an arteriovenous fistula for hemodialysis should include:
A. inspection for visible pulsation.
B. palpation of thrill.
C. percussion for dullness.
D. auscultation of blood pressure.
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
Thrill should be present. The client should be taught to check this daily at home. Pulsation is not typically visible. Percussion gives no information about the patency of a fistula. Blood pressure is not auscultated in a limb with an AVF. Auscultation of the AVF, for a bruit, is part of an assessment for patency.Physiological Adaptation
