Renal Nutrition Problem Types

The examination simulations were systematically selected to reflect the clinical practice domain of the renal dietitian. The problem types and content outline were empirically delineated by a comprehensive practice audit of renal dietitians and by consensus of content experts. Factors such as patient type, disease process and criticality of appropriate care were considered in writing each problem.

1. Acute renal failure (18 years of age or older)
2. Conservative management/pre-dialysis (18 years of age or older)
3. End-stage renal disease/hemodialysis (adolescent age 13-17 and/or 18 years of age or older)
4. End-stage renal disease/peritoneal dialysis (18 years of age or older)
5. Kidney transplant (18 years of age or older)
