i have a pt that has dialysis three times a week. He has been currently having diarrhea for the past week or so, the nurse in charge said she has spoken to the dialysis unit and the medications that his given at dialysis are what gives him diarrhea, but when i spoke to the unit they said none of there medications would do that, they also said if he has diarrhea not to send him to dialysis because it increases the chance of infection. We can't get a clear answer. Thanks!

1.normal compensation of the body to decrease waste products
2.long term use of antibiotcs
2.or common gastroenteritis
