The priority nursing intervention should be to ensure that small clamps are attached to the arteriovenous shunt dressing.

An external arteriovenous shunt is a less common type of access site, but when it is utilized, there is a danger of bleeding since the ends of the external cannula are linked after being tunneled into an artery and a vein beneath the skin.

The client could experience fast blood loss if there is an unintentional disconnect. Because of this, tiny clamps are attached to the dressing that covers the insertion site and are ready for use as required. Additionally, the shunt site needs to be examined at least every 4 hours. Look for bruit and excitement in the shunt to see whether it is functioning properly.

uysha [10]
If a proteins shape was changed it may be able to do its function to do being unable to fit in all blood vessels/arteries and the shape change may of hindered its capability of carrying nutrients it needs to transport, etc.

If a hemoglobin (red blood cell) shape changed, (this is normally called sickle cell) the red blood cell would be to unable to travel through the body with ease and easily clog bloodstreams. Also, the hemoglobin will not be able to transport as much oxygen throughout the body.
