NSG 4100 Exam 1
54 Questions Q1–Q54
Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 264 NSG 4100 Exam 1
Signs and Symptoms of Uremia
CORRECT ANSWER
Fatigue, SOB, unexplained weight loss, N/V, muscle cramps. change in mental
status, metallic taste in mouth, pruritus.
RATIONALE
Uremia, a syndrome resulting from renal insufficiency, manifests through a
constellation of symptoms caused by the accumulation of toxic metabolic byproducts,
impacting multiple organ systems. This accumulation leads to systemic effects such as
fatigue, dyspnea (SOB), anorexia, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and neurological
disturbances.
, Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 264 NSG 4100 Exam 1
Pathophysiology of End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
CORRECT ANSWER
Renal function declines and end products of protein metabolism accumulate in
the blood. Uremia develops and adversely affects every system in the body.
Usually associated with a low GFR. The more waste products in the system the
more severe the symptoms.
RATIONALE
End-stage renal disease is characterized by a severely diminished glomerular filtration
rate (GFR), leading to the accumulation of uremic toxins and metabolic byproducts in
the blood, which then precipitate systemic symptoms across multiple organ systems.
This accumulation directly correlates with the severity of clinical manifestations
experienced by the patient.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 264 NSG 4100 Exam 1
Uremic Pericarditis
CORRECT ANSWER
Inflammation and irritation of the visceral and parietal layers of the pericardium
by metabolic toxins that accumulate due to renal failure.
RATIONALE
Uremic pericarditis arises from the accumulation of metabolic toxins in renal failure,
leading to direct inflammation and irritation of the pericardial sac's layers. This
underscores the concept of uremia as a systemic complication of severe kidney
dysfunction.
, Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 264 NSG 4100 Exam 1
Uremic Treatment
CORRECT ANSWER
Diuretics and Hemodialysis and if the patient is already on hemodialysis we
need to intensify it.
RATIONALE
Uremic treatment focuses on fluid and electrolyte management through diuretics and
hemodialysis to remove accumulated toxins and excess fluid, with intensification of
dialysis indicated for worsening uremic symptoms or complications. This addresses the
core principle of renal replacement therapy and pharmacologic diuresis in managing
severe renal dysfunction.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 264 NSG 4100 Exam 1
Clinical manifestations of fluid overload in ESRD
CORRECT ANSWER
Pericarditis, pericardial effusions/tamponade, pulmonary infiltrates, JVD,
edema, HF, hypertension, hyperkalemia, metabolic acidosis
RATIONALE
Fluid overload in ESRD leads to increased intravascular volume, causing elevated
hydrostatic pressure that manifests as pulmonary edema, peripheral edema, and
jugular venous distention, while impaired cardiac function precipitates heart failure
and tamponade, and electrolyte imbalances like hyperkalemia and acidosis result from
decreased renal excretion. This demonstrates the systemic consequences of
inadequate fluid and solute removal by failing kidneys.
