100 Questions Q1–Q100
Q1 QUESTION 1 OF 209 NUR 265 Exam 1
What is nephrotic syndrome?
CORRECT ANSWER
A condition of increased glomerular permeability that allows larger molecules to
pass through the membrane into the urine and then be excreted.
RATIONALE
In nephrotic syndrome, heightened glomerular permeability results from damage to the
glomerular filtration barrier, leading to the excretion of large proteins, such as albumin, in the
urine. This pathophysiological change disrupts normal protein balance, contributing to
edema and hypoalbuminemia.

, Q2 QUESTION 2 OF 209 NUR 265 Exam 1
What are key features of nephrotic syndrome?
CORRECT ANSWER
-
Massive proteinuria
-Hypoalbuminemia
-Edema (facial and periorbital)
-Lipiduria
-Hyperlipidemia
-Increased coagulation
-Reduced kidney function
RATIONALE
Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by significant protein loss through urine leading to
hypoalbuminemia, which causes edema due to decreased oncotic pressure. Additionally,
lipiduria and hyperlipidemia result from altered lipid metabolism, while increased
coagulation and reduced kidney function are secondary complications of the underlying
pathophysiology.
Q3 QUESTION 3 OF 209 NUR 265 Exam 1
In nephrotic syndrome, severe protein loss in the urine is greater than what?
CORRECT ANSWER
3.5g in 24 hours
RATIONALE
5 grams per 24 hours. This hallmark of nephrotic syndrome indicates a loss of serum albumin,
contributing to edema and hypoalbuminemia.

, Q4 QUESTION 4 OF 209 NUR 265 Exam 1
What is nephrotic syndrome treated with?
CORRECT ANSWER
-immunosuppressant agents (if immunity based).
-ACE inhibitors (decreased protein loss in urine)
-statins (improve blood lipid levels).
-Heparin (used to treat vascular effects and improve kidney function)
RATIONALE
Immunosuppressants target underlying immune-mediated processes in nephrotic
syndrome, while ACE inhibitors reduce proteinuria by decreasing glomerular pressure;
statins manage dyslipidemia, and heparin addresses thromboembolic risks associated with
nephrotic syndrome’s hypercoagulable state. This multifaceted approach reflects the
complex pathophysiology of nephrotic syndrome and aims to restore renal function and
reduce complications.
Q5 QUESTION 5 OF 209 NUR 265 Exam 1
Describe Prerenal AKI. Give examples.
CORRECT ANSWER
Decreased perfusion to kidneys.
-NSAIDs
-Severe dehydration
-Renal artery stenosis
-MI or HF resulting in low ejection fraction and low cardiac output
-Blood/ fluid loss
RATIONALE
Decreased perfusion to the kidneys leads to prerenal acute kidney injury (AKI), where
insufficient blood flow compromises renal function, often due to factors such as NSAID use,
severe dehydration, and conditions like myocardial infarction or heart failure that reduce
cardiac output. Recognizing the underlying causes of prerenal AKI is crucial for timely
intervention and prevention of irreversible kidney damage.
