Question

select all the correct answers.
which three statements about dialysis are true?
it’s a time-consuming procedure.
it requires the patient to be on antirejection medication.
it uses a machine to purify blood.
it’s a temporary remedy for renal failure.
it requires matching the patient’s blood with that of the donor.

Explanation:

1. "It’s a time - consuming procedure": Dialysis sessions typically last for several hours and need to be done multiple times a week, so it is time - consuming.
2. "It uses a machine to purify blood": Dialysis machines (hemodialysis machines) are used to filter waste products and excess fluid from the blood when the kidneys are not functioning properly.
3. "It’s a temporary remedy for renal failure": Dialysis is used as a temporary measure for those with renal failure, especially while waiting for a kidney transplant or as a long - term but non - curative treatment.

The statements "It requires the patient to be on antirejection medication" and "It requires matching the patient’s blood with that of the donor" are related to organ transplantation (like kidney transplant), not dialysis.

Answer:

• It’s a time - consuming procedure.
• It uses a machine to purify blood.
• It’s a temporary remedy for renal failure.
