A serum creatinine test measures the level of creatinine in your blood and provides an estimate of how
well your kidneys filter (glomerular filtration rate)
Pay attention to “modifiers” in your questions and answers = adjectives/adverbs. These are important.
Example: “initial, sterile, prior to, before, after, etc” The “initial” dose of a medication will have a more
potent effect on the client since it is the first dose they are taking of that med.
Dumping syndrome: Promote absorption of nutrients, 6-8 small meals/day Prevent electrolyte
imbalances, avoid large volumes in stomach, no drinking fluids with meals, avoid simple sugars
