ans B)
Perit. dialysis is a daily treatm. and the gradual fluid removal is better tolerated by pts. with poor cardiac reserve then hemodialysis. It requires adequate vision to be done independently. The abdominal distension may not be well tolerated by COPD pts. due to interference with lung expansion and the calories absorbed from dextrose containing fluids may cause weight gain & obesity !
