d. Smokey or coffee-colored urine.
d. Smokey or coffee-colored urine.
2. The nurse is assessing edema in a client diagnosed with nephrotic
syndrome. The nurse
understands that the edema is caused by
a. increased sodium loss leads to increased third spacing of fluids.
b. serum albumin is lost, oncotic pressure decreases allowing fluids to
escape.
c. large glucose molecules increase and crowd out all other molecules.
d. oncotic pressure increases forcing fluids out into the interstitial spaces.
b. serum albumin is lost, oncotic pressure decreases allowing fluids
to escape.
3. The nurse preceptor has discussed with a newly hired nurse the types of
urinary incontinence. Which of the following statements by the newly hired
nurse indicates a correct understanding of the discussion?

process causing protein to be spilled.
c. The renal tubules become clogged with cellular debris causing the protein
to be spilled.
d. Due to the nephrotoxic environment, the liver becomes overactive and
synthesizes more protein.
a. The glomerular membrane has increased permeability which
causes leakage of the protein.
5. The nurse has taught a group of newly hired nurses about chronic
pyelonephritis. Which of the following statements by the group indicates a
need for follow up?
