Pathophysiology
What this means clinically
RN You manage HD/PDF orders: medication timing around dialysis, antibiotic redosing, vascular access care, troubleshoot machine alarms per competency, titrate UF within parameters, administer emergent hyperkalemia meds, and teach diet/fluid/meds for ESRD. For AKI, you monitor strict I/O, daily weights, avoid nephrotoxins when possible, and prepare for CRRT themes if stem includes ICU.
