Antworten
  • Difficulty starting the stream of urine
  • Spasmodic pain that radiates to the groin
  • Increased glomerular filtration rate
  • Urinalysis confirmation of white blood cell casts

Antworten
  • Confusion and poorly localized abdominal discomfort
  • Dysuria, frequency, and suprapubic pain
  • Hematuria and flank pain
  • Pyuria, urgency, and frequency

Antworten
  • Bacteria
  • Fungi
  • Viruses
  • Parasites

Frage 12

Frage
Which abnormal laboratory value is found in glomerular disorders?
Antworten
  • Elevated creatinine concentration
  • Low blood urea nitrogen (BUN)
  • Elevated immunoglobulin A (IgA)
  • Low serum complement

Frage 13

Frage
Which glomerular lesion is characterized by thickening of the glomerular capillary wall with immune deposition of immunoglobulin G (IgG) and C3?
Antworten
  • Proliferative
  • Membranous
  • Mesangial
  • Crescentic

Frage 14

Frage
Goodpasture syndrome is an example of which of these?
Antworten
  • Antiglomerular basement membrane disease
  • Acute glomerulonephritis
  • Chronic glomerulonephritis
  • Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy

Frage 15

Frage
A patient exhibits symptoms including hematuria with red blood cell casts and proteinuria exceeding 3 to 5 g/day, with albumin as the major protein. What diagnostic test or treatment regime does the healthcare professional educate the patient on?
Antworten
  • Intravenous pyelogram
  • Oral antibiotics
  • Renal biopsy
  • Cyclophosphamide

Frage 16

Frage
Hypothyroidism, edema, hyperlipidemia, and lipiduria characterize which kidney disorder?
Antworten
  • Nephrotic syndrome
  • Acute glomerulonephritis
  • Chronic glomerulonephritis
  • Pyelonephritis

Frage 17

Frage
A patient who has a history of mildly decreased renal function is admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics. Which antibiotics would the healthcare professional avoid in this patient?
Antworten
  • Penicillin and ampicillin
  • Vancomycin and bacitracin
  • Gentamicin and tobramycin
  • Cefazolin and cefepime

Frage 18

Frage
Which urine characteristics are indicative of acute tubular necrosis (ATN) caused by intrinsic (intrarenal) failure?
Antworten
  • Urine sodium >30 mEq/L
  • Urine osmolality >500 mOsm
  • Fractional excretion of sodium (FENa) <1%
  • Urine sediment has no cells, some hyaline casts

Frage 19

Frage
How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with acute renal failure?
Antworten
  • Glucose has an osmotic effect, which attracts water and sodium, resulting in more dilute blood and a lower potassium concentration.
  • When insulin transports glucose into the cell, it also carries potassium with it.
  • Potassium attaches to receptors on the cell membrane of glucose and is carried into the cell.
  • Increasing insulin causes ketoacidosis, which causes potassium to move into the cell in exchange for hydrogen.

Frage 20

Frage
Creatinine is primarily excreted by glomerular filtration after being constantly released from what type of tissue?
Antworten
  • Nervous system
  • Kidneys
  • Muscle
  • Liver

Frage 21

Frage
A professor has taught a student about skeletal alterations seen in chronic kidney disease. Which statement by the student indicates the professor needs to give more information?
Antworten
  • Parathyroid hormone is no longer effective in maintaining serum phosphate levels.
  • The parathyroid gland is no longer able to secrete sufficient parathyroid hormone
  • The synthesis of 1,25-vitamin D3, which reduces intestinal absorption of calcium, is impaired.
  • The effectiveness of calcium and phosphate resorption from bone is impaired.

Frage 22

Frage
A patient who has chronic kidney disease has hemoglobin of 7.2 mg/dL. What treatment does the healthcare professional prepare the patient for?
Antworten
  • Intrinsic factor
  • Vitamin B12
  • Vitamin D
  • Erythropoietin

Frage 23

Frage
When the right kidney is obstructed, how will the glomeruli and tubules in the left kidney compensate?
Antworten
  • Increase in number
  • Increase in size
