Description

Module 6 was designed and written for Advance Practice Registered Nurses (APRNs) under the guidance of the module's editors, Katherine Houle and Kim Alleman. Its topics are meant for the APRN new to nephrology practice as well as for those with experience. The module is divided into 5 chapters. The first addresses professional issues related to the APRN and end-of-life issues. In the next chapter, chronic kidney disease stages 1 through 5 are presented. Chapter 3 offers an overview of treatment options for kidney replacement therapy. It includes transplant, hemodialysis, the vascular access, peritoneal dialysis, and home dialysis. The next chapter turns to acute kidney injury (AKI) and presents useful information pertaining to AKI, its causes and treatments. Chapter 5 discusses care of the pediatric patient by the APRN.Additional information on almost all of these topics can be found in the other modules of the Core Curriculum for Nephrology Nursing. The APRN will find this information useful as well.
