Arlington Questions with 100% Verified Answers Latest Update
Question: Answer:
An elderly man develops postrenal acute kidney injury (AKI). c) Benign prostatic hyperplasia.
What is the most likely cause?
a) Dehydration.
b) A positive PSA.
c) Benign prostatic hyperplasia.
d) Sepsis.
Question: Answer:
Which condition predisposes a patient to developing an d) Antibiotics.
intrarenal acute kidney injury?
a) Diabetes Mellitus.
b) Hypotension.
c) Uterine prolapse.
d) Antibiotics.
Question: Answer:
The RN (registered nurse) is caring for a patient diagnosed a) BUN and creatinine.
with an acute kidney injury. Which laboratory values are most
significant for diagnosing an acute kidney injury?
a) BUN and creatinine.
b) Hemoglobin and RBC count.
c) Potassium and sodium.
d) Potassium and BUN.
Question: Answer:
A patient is found to have hematuria, proteinuria, and an d) Glomerulonephritis
elevated serum creatinine. These findings indicate
a) Prerenal acute kidney injury
b) Acute tubular necrosis
c) Postrenal chronic kidney injury
d) Glomerulonephritis
, Question: Answer:
A patient is admitted with heart failure. Over a 30-hour period a) Prerenal acute kidney injury
the patient develops oliguria. His serum creatinine (SrCr) is
measured at 1.4; the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) is measured at
34. What type of problem is most likely?
BUN (blood urea nitrogen): 8 to 25
Serum creatinine (SrCr): 0.6 to 1.2
a) Prerenal acute kidney injury
b) Acute tubular necrosis
c) Postrenal chronic kidney injury
d) Glomerulonephritis
Question: Answer:
A patient is admitted with heart failure. Over a 30-hour period b) Urine specific gravity of 1.000.
the patient develops oliguria and is diagnosed with AKI (acute
kidney injury). Which assessment finding is expected in this
patient?
Urine specific gravity: 1.002 to 1.028.
a) Poor skin turgor.
b) Urine specific gravity of 1.000.
c) Urine specific gravity of 1.028.
d) Hypovolemia.
Question: Answer:
A nurse taking care of a patient diagnosed with heart failure c) Casts are evidence of dead kidney tubular cells as a result of the
and prerenal AKI (acute kidney injury) notes that "casts" are low cardiac output
now present on the patient's urinalysis report. Which statement and prolonged ischemia from the heart failure problem.
best describes the pathophysiologic rational for casts in this
patient?
a) As kidney tubular cells die, they slough off into the urinary
tubules then are reabsorbed into the peritubular capillaries,
causing arterial blockages called casts.
b) Elevated levels of blood urea nitrogen cause the formation
of crystals within the kidney tubular cells. These crystals are
known as casts.
c) Casts are evidence of dead kidney tubular cells as a result
of the low cardiac output and prolonged ischemia from the
heart failure problem.
d) Oliguria has caused fluid volume overload. With a fluid
volume overload, more pressure is exerted on Bowman's
capsule, causing the formation of casts.
