When working with a client who has end-stage renal disease (esrd) and is receiving peritoneal dialysis, the concept of diffusion can be explained by which of the following statements? a)"if your potassium level is high, then k+particles will move from your peritoneal cavity into the dialysis solution, where the concentration of k+is lower."b)"you will need to give yourself a potent diuretic so that you can pull the potassium into your blood stream and filter the potassium out in your kidneys."c)"your potassium molecules are lipid soluble and will dissolve in the lipid matrix of your cell membranes."d)"if you can get very warm in a sauna, you will heat up your k+particles, and the kinetic movement of the particles will increase and pass through the cell membranes faster."

the concept of diffusion can be explained by option A ("If your potassium level is high, then K+particles will move from your peritoneal cavity into the dialysis solution, where the concentration of K+is lower")

Explanation:

Diffusion is defined as a passive process by which molecules moves from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration in other to attain a uniform concentration.The rate of diffusion depends on how many particles are available for diffusion, the kinetic movement of the particles, and the number and size of the openings in the membrane through which the molecules or ions can move.

Dialysis is the clinical procedures carried out to purify the blood of patients with kidney disease such as end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The potassium levels are usually high in ESRD patients,during dialysis the K+particles will move from your peritoneal cavity into the dialysis solution, where the concentration of K+is lower. Hope this helps. Thanks.
