CE: Improving Outcomes for Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease: Part 1.
American Journal of Nursing 2017 Februrary
: The burden of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is rising both in this country and worldwide. An estimated 10% to 15% of U.S. adults are currently living with CKD. Reducing the CKD burden requires a systematic, interdisciplinary approach to care. The greatest opportunities to reduce the impact of CKD arise early, when most patients are being followed in primary care; yet many clinicians are inadequately educated on this disease. Nurses are well positioned to facilitate the implementation of collaborative care. This two-part article aims to provide nurses with the basic information necessary to assess and manage patients with CKD. Part 1 offers an overview of the disease, describes identification and etiology, and discusses ways to slow disease progression. Part 2, which will appear next month, addresses disease complications and treatment of kidney failure.
