A nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client who is to perform peritoneal dialysis at home. Which of the following information should the nurse include?

Choice A reason: Mild discomfort during the inflow of dialysate is common during the initial days of peritoneal dialysis. This typically resolves as the client adjusts to the procedure. Pain should be monitored, but some sensation is expected early on. Choice B reason: Dialysate should never be warmed in a microwave due to uneven heating and risk of injury. It should be warmed using a heating pad or warming cabinet to ensure safe and consistent temperature. Choice C reason: Redness at the catheter exit site may indicate infection and should be reported immediately. The site should remain clean and free of signs of inflammation. Choice D reason: High-fiber foods are encouraged to prevent constipation, which can interfere with dialysate flow. Fiber supports bowel regularity and is beneficial during peritoneal dialysis.
