The parent of a child diagnosed with acute kidney injury (AKI) asks the nurse why peritoneal dialysis was selected instead of hemodialysis. Which is the nurse's best response?

A. Peritoneal dialysis is not more efficient than hemodialysis; it is slower, which can help reduce complications in pediatric clients. B. Peritoneal dialysis does have potential complications, such as infection, but these are generally fewer than those associated with hemodialysis in children. C. Peritoneal dialysis removes fluid at a slower rate, making it a better option for children, as it is less likely to cause sudden fluctuations in blood pressure or other complications. D. Hemodialysis is used in the pediatric population, but peritoneal dialysis is often preferred in certain cases due to its lower complication rates and more gradual effect.
