Peritoneal dialysis: a case for home visits
Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) training usually takes place within the dialysis unit. Home visits, however, provide an ideal way for the dialysis team to assess and observe the implementation of the training objectives and to uphold the continuation of care between the dialysis unit and the home. This article describes the benefits and limitations of performing home visits as well as practical guidelines, including the use of an assessment record to document the home visit.
