Renal transplant surgery is the oldest and most successful type of organ transplant yet the United Network for Organ sharing (UNOS) reports there are insufficient number of available organs to meet the growing needs of individuals who require this surgical procedure. The source of a kidney for transplantation may be from a living or deceased donor. After reflecting on the above paragraph, discuss the following points (minimum of 250 words):

What is the professional nurse’s role in organ donation?

Are there ethical considerations associated with living donors? Explain.

Should donors or their families be financially compensated for their donation? Why or why not?

1)Which of the following conditions can result in hypernatremia?

2)What are the two main determinants of blood pressure ?

3)Which of the following condition could potentially cause hypernatremia.

4)Which of the following fluids should be used to treat cerebral edema?

I have been given mock results from a PCR test on blood samplestaken from kidney recipient patients and their donors. The PCRreaction can detect single copies of viral DNA. I have been askedto determine whether 5 patients have been infected witheither human herpesvirus 6 (HHV6) or humancytomegalovirus (HCMV) following kidney transplants. I have resultsfor patients pre-transplantation and 1/3 weekspost-transplantation.

The results are as follows:

Donors:

• Donor for patient A = HCMV+
• Donor for patient B = HCMV+ & HHV6+
• Donor for patient C = Neg for both viruses
• Donor for patient D = HHV6+
• Donor for patient E = HCMV+ & HHV6+

Recipients:

• Patient A = HCMV+ before and 1 & 3 weekspost-transplant
• Patient B = Neg for both viruses before, then HHV6+ at week 1& HCMV+ at week 3 following transplantation but negative forHHV6.
• Patient C = HHV6+ before and 1 & 3 weekspost-transplant.
• Patient D = HCMV+ before and HCMV+ & HHV6+ 1 & 3 weekspost-transplant
• Patient E = HHV6+ before and HCMV+ & HHV6+ 1 & 3 weekspost-transplant

Answers: I am guessing that Patient A was re-infected by donorA. Patient B was neg for both viruses, developed HHV6 week 1 butthis test was neg week 3 & instead positive for HCMV
