On Monday, September 18th, I got the opportunity to observe outpatient dialysis treatments at DaVita Dialysis. I followed a Patient Care Tech and a LPN during the clinical, and observed great nursing care throughout the clinical. There was one RN in the facility and she was the charge nurse. She managed care as well as delegated patient assignment for the day/week.
During my experience, I saw how much patient self-care was necessary during treatment. If the patients needed a kidney transplant, but were non-compliant with the treatment plans it would decrease their likelihood of receiving the transplant. In regards to non-compliance for the patients, it would include: missing scheduled treatments, not following their recommended diet and fluid
