    For years, evidence proved that the adequate dialysis treatment, proper nutrition, and use of arterial venous fistula (AVF) in place of HD catheters are associated with patients’ decreased mortality rate among end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on hemodialysis (HD). Improving overall health of ESRD patients is largely dependent on individual patients themselves, but as nurses it is our responsibility to promote and educate patients to take charge of their own life. In the acute setting, the large populations of dialysis patients are unaware of the risk when treatments are missed. Educating patients is an ongoing process and can be very challenging. Currently both doctors and nurses are working on how to educate them in a better way for them to understand.…

    According to Lloyd and Craig, taking a patient history is the most important aspect of patient assessment because information from the history is essential in guiding the treatment and management of the patient (p. 48).

Introducing yourself, using active listening, avoiding jargon, maintaining eye contact and holding an interested posture are examples of good communication skills. “It is important to use appropriate questioning techniques to ensure nothing is missed when taking a patient history.” (Lloyd & Craig, 2007). Begin the assessment process by using open questioning to discuss the presenting complaint to gather information. Then clarify this information with closed questions by focusing on cardinal symptoms. According to Lloyd and Craig, it is important to concentrate on symptoms and not on diagnosis to ensure that no…
