key Try a new quiz by Linda McCann, RD, CSR, LD: QUIZ: Subjective Global Assessment. What does it include? What does it correlate with? How can we evaluate muscle tissue stores?
Note: Internet Explorer required for the feedback options of this quiz.
key Try a new quiz by Judy Beto and our editor Sharon Stall: QUIZ: Management of the Patient with Hyperkalemia. Your dialysis patient has high predialysis serum K. What do you do? Dialyze? Stop eating? Lower dialysate K? Change meds? When and how should a dietitian intervene when evaluating CKD patients?
Note: Internet Explorer required for the feedback options of this quiz.

key Try Sharon Stall's QUIZ: Body Composition Measures in the Dialysis Unit. Which methods of body composition should one use for routine assessment in the dialysis unit? What do the triceps skin fold and mid-arm circumference mean? How useful is the BMI?
