A nurse is educating a client about the purpose of dialysis as a treatment for ESRD. Which statement by the client indicates a correct understanding of dialysis?

A. This intervention is not appropriate. Discouraging the client from expressing negative emotions can invalidate their feelings and may lead to a lack of emotional support.

B. This intervention is the correct approach. Validating the client's feelings and providing a nonjudgmental environment can help the client feel heard and understood, fostering a therapeutic relationship.

C. This intervention is not helpful. Avoiding the client's feelings does not address their emotional needs and may make the client feel isolated.

D. This intervention is not appropriate. Encouraging the client to focus solely on the physical benefits of dialysis ignores the emotional impact of the treatment and does not address the client's feelings of anger and frustration.

A. This statement is incorrect. In living donor kidney transplantation, the donor's kidney is surgically removed and transplanted directly into the recipient's body during the same surgical procedure.

B. This statement is incorrect. While both the donor and recipient will undergo surgeries simultaneously, they will be in separate operating rooms.

C. This statement is correct. During the kidney transplant, the donor's kidney is placed in the recipient's lower abdomen, and the recipient's native kidneys, if present and non-functional, may be removed or left in place, depending on the circumstances.

D. This statement is incorrect. The donor's kidney is typically transplanted into the lower abdomen on the opposite side from the recipient's native failed kidney to ensure proper blood supply and surgical access.
