, Question 1
Which statement best describes acute renal failure?
A. It is always progressive and irreversible
B. It is reversible
C. It occurs only in diabetic patients
D. It requires lifelong dialysis
Correct Answer: B. It is reversible
Deep Rationale:
Acute renal failure (acute kidney injury) is characterized by a sudden decline in renal function
that is potentially reversible. Prognosis is often determined by how the kidneys respond to
interventions. A good urine output after diuretic administration indicates preserved kidney
function and a better prognosis, supporting reversibility.
Question 2
Why can diagnosing acute pyelonephritis based on clinical symptoms alone be difficult?
A. Symptoms are usually absent
B. It presents identically to renal calculi
C. Symptoms can resemble cystitis
D. Imaging is always required
Correct Answer: C. Symptoms can resemble cystitis
Deep Rationale:
Acute pyelonephritis shares symptoms such as dysuria, frequency, and urgency with cystitis.
Because of this overlap, clinical symptoms alone are insufficient. Diagnosis is established
using urine culture, urinalysis (WBC casts), and signs/symptoms. Complicated cases require
blood cultures and imaging.
Question 3
Which is NOT a goal in the treatment of renal calculi?
A. Manage acute pain
B. Promote stone passage
