,Section A - Urosepsis Pathophysiology AND Clinical
Manifestations
Q1.
In a patient with urosepsis, which pathophysiological mechanism most directly explains
the transition from systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) to multiple organ
dysfunction syndrome (MODS)?
A. Sustained activation of the B. Unchecked endothelial injury and
renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system microvascular thrombosis causing tissue
leading to fluid retention hypoperfusion
C. Hepatic clearance of endotoxins leading D. Suppression of the complement cascade
to coagulopathy reducing opsonization
Correct: B - Unchecked endothelial injury and microvascular thrombosis causing tissue
hypoperfusion
Rationale:MODS in sepsis results from diffuse endothelial damage, microthrombi, and
impaired oxygen delivery, leading to cellular dysoxia and organ failure. RAAS activation is
compensatory, not causal for MODS.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. RAAS activation is a compensatory response, not the primary driver of MODS.
C. Hepatic clearance of endotoxins is protective, not a cause of coagulopathy.
D. Complement is typically activated, not suppressed, in sepsis.

ed., Ch. 21.
Q2.
A patient with urosepsis has a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 58 mm Hg despite a 30
mL/kg crystalloid bolus. Which prescription should the nurse anticipate to initiate first?
A. Norepinephrine infusion titrated to MAP B. Dobutamine infusion at 5 mcg/kg/min
65 mm Hg
C. Vasopressin 0.03 units/min added to D. Hydrocortisone 200 mg IV bolus
norepinephrine
Correct: A - Norepinephrine infusion titrated to MAP 65 mm Hg
Rationale:Surviving Sepsis Campaign guidelines recommend norepinephrine as first-line
vasopressor for refractory hypotension after fluid resuscitation. Dobutamine is for cardiac
output, vasopressin is second-line, and hydrocortisone is for refractory shock.
Why the other answers are wrong:
Page 3
, Section A - Urosepsis Pathophysiology AND Clinical Manifestations
B. Dobutamine is not first-line for hypotension without evidence of low cardiac output.
C. Vasopressin is added only when norepinephrine fails to achieve MAP target.
D. Corticosteroids are reserved for truly refractory shock, not initial therapy.
Reference: Evans, L. et al. (2021). Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines. Critical Care
Medicine, 49(11), e1063-e1143.
Q3.
Which finding is most indicative of worsening acute kidney injury (AKI) in a patient with
urosepsis, despite adequate fluid resuscitation?
A. Urine output of 0.4 mL/kg/hr for 4 hours B. Serum creatinine rise of 0.3 mg/dL from
baseline
C. Fractional excretion of sodium less than D. Blood urea nitrogen to creatinine ratio of
1% 20:1
Correct: B - Serum creatinine rise of 0.3 mg/dL from baseline
Rationale:KDIGO criteria define AKI by an increase in serum creatinine "e0.3 mg/dL within 48
hours. Oliguria is also a criterion, but the specified urine output is transient and not as
definitive, while FeNa may be low in prerenal states and BUN:Cr ratio suggests prerenal.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Oliguria for 4 hours at 0.4 mL/kg/hr does not meet KDIGO duration threshold (6 hours).
C. FeNa <1% is typical of prerenal azotemia, not necessarily AKI.
D. BUN:Cr ratio >20 suggests prerenal, not intrinsic AKI.
Reference: KDIGO Clinical Practice Guideline for Acute Kidney Injury (2012). Kidney International
Supplements, 2(1).
Q4.
A patient with urosepsis develops new-onset atrial fibrillation. Which medication should
the nurse question if prescribed?
A. Metoprolol tartrate 5 mg IV every 5 B. Amiodarone 150 mg IV over 10 minutes
minutes up to 15 mg
C. Ibutilide 1 mg IV over 10 minutes D. Adenosine 6 mg rapid IV push
Correct: D - Adenosine 6 mg rapid IV push
Rationale:Adenosine is indicated for paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia, not atrial
fibrillation, as it has minimal effect on atrial arrhythmias. Metoprolol, amiodarone, and ibutilide
are appropriate rate/rhythm control options.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Metoprolol is a standard rate-control agent for AF.
B. Amiodarone is an appropriate rhythm-control agent.
