NURS 6202 EXAM 1 QUESTIONS
AND CORRECT ANSWERS
(VERIFIED ANSWERS) A GRADE
__ causes of AKI involve mechanical obstruction in the
outflow of urine. With the flow of urine obstructed, urine
refluxes into the renal pelvis, impairing kidney function. -
correct answer- postrenal
__ inflammation of the glomeruli - correct answer-
glomerulonephritis
__ is inflammation of the renal parenchyma and collecting
system. - correct answer- pyelonephritis
__ is the most common intrarenal cause of AKI. -
correct answer- acute tubular necrosis
___ are mixed stones typically with struvite or oxalate
stones. - correct answer- calcium phosphate
,___ are obtained to learn oxygenation (PaO2) and
ventilation (PaCO2) status as well as other information
related to acid-base balance. - correct answer-
arterial blood gas (ABGs)
___ are the most common health care associated
infection (HAI) - correct answer- catheter
associated urinary tract infections
___ are the second most common bacterial disease and
most common bacterial infection in women - correct
answer- UTIs
___ are used in conjunction with bronchodilating agents
when bronchospasm and inflammation are present. -
correct answer- corticosteroids
___ causes of AKI are factors that reduce systemic
circulation, causing a reduction in renal blood flow. The
decrease in blood flow leads to decreased glomerular
,perfusion and filtration of the kidneys. - correct
answer- prerenal
___ incontinence dribbling (BPH, uterine prolapse) -
correct answer- overflow

answer- urethritis
___ is an inflammation of the bladder - correct
answer- cystitis
___ is inflammation of renal parenchyma and the
collecting system - correct answer- acute
pyelonephritis
___ is often the first system to show signs of dysfunction
in SIRS and MODS, often culminating in? - correct
answer- respiratory system, acute respiratory
distress syndrome (ARDS)
**Cardiovascular changes, neurologic dysfunction, acute
kidney injury, DIC, GI dysfunction, and liver dysfunction
are common.
