Answer: Predialysis care involving documentation of vital signs

Explanation:

The first nursing care carried out for a dialysis patient is usually a predialysis care and this involves documenting vital signs including temperature, blood pressure, (not forgetting orthostatic blood pressure), pulse rate, respiratory rate, and even lung sounds.

They are called baseline data and they help the fluid volume assessment of the patient. Other predialysis nursing care include weight measurements, fluids and dietary restrictions, and even explanations of the various procedures expected to be carried out and possible sensations that will be felt in the process

Meredith holds full responsibility for what happened to her patient. Falsifying documentation is illegal and extremely dangerous to the patients' health, as was the case with her patient, Mr. Wallace.

Meredith should have never put vitals down that were not taken at the time of the visit. What should have happened is that Meredith should have stopped attempting to take Mr. Wallace's vitals and asked a senior co-worker or the Physician to help assist with taking a blood pressure. She also could have used an alternate way of obtaining a blood pressure (example: using the radial pulse with the blood pressure cuff at the forearm). The patient should absolutely be reimbursed for the medical bills accrued from Meredith's mistake/lapse of judgment. Meredith also just receive a performance write-up with her employer. She is lucky if she would still have a job.
