A 30-year-old man with end stage renal disease (ESRD) undergoing thrice weekly hemodialysis set out to achieve a personal goal to ride his bicycle across the United States within 30 days. To support patients in achieving such a goal, nephrology nurses must consider not only nutritional components, but must be prepared to deal with the physical challenges that face patients in the daily struggles struggle to reach their goal. It became a priority and a challenge for the nephrology team to treat this young man as an athlete who also happened to have ESRD, rather than as a dialysis patient who was a cyclist.
一名患有终末期肾病（ESRD）且每周接受三次血液透析的30岁男子，开始朝着在30天内骑自行车横穿美国的个人目标进发。为了支持患者实现这样的目标，肾病科护士不仅要考虑营养成分，还必须准备好应对患者在为实现目标而进行的日常拼搏中所面临的身体挑战。对肾病团队来说，将这名年轻人视为一名恰好患有ESRD的运动员，而非一名骑自行车的透析患者，成为了首要任务和挑战。
