Week 26 – Clinical – Dialysis Center

Date: 4/27/18                           Rotation: Clinical            Location: West Nassau Dialysis

Activities / Assignments:

  • Followed up with patients who had repeat bloodwork done after their monthly bloodwork
  • Held lobby day with information about protein for the patients Thursday and Friday

Comments / Thoughts / What You Learned / Challenges: This week I counseled patients who had repeat labs done. It was done on those patients with elevated levels of phosphorus or potassium, and if their levels were within normal limits this time I let them know they were doing well, if values were still high I went over ways to help normalize them and emphasized why it was important to do so.

We held our lobby day this Friday. I cooked high protein pancakes and helped set up and distribute the games. The clients really enjoyed it and were excited to take home the recipes.
