NR-507 Advanced Pathophysiology
Final Exam
Which of the following is considered be a transient cause of urinary
incontinence?
Correct Answer:
UTI
A pre-renal cause of acute renal failure is:
Correct Answer:
hypotension (reduces blood flow to kidneys)
One of the first pathophysiological responses to the decreased GFR in acute
renal failure is:
Correct Answer:
Activation of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
One of the major markers for glomerular filtration rate is creatinine.
Correct Answer:
true
,Pre-renal is the most common cause of acute renal failure.
Correct Answer:
true
The most common cause of acute renal failure is due to a pre-renal failure.
Correct Answer:
true
Acute-renal failure
Correct Answer:
Oliguria (< 30ml/hr).
Increased blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine.
Fluid and electrolyte abnormalities.
pre-renal
Correct Answer:
sudden and severe drop in blood pressure (shock) or interruption of blood
flow to the kidneys from severe injury or illness
Intra-renal
Correct Answer:
direct damage to the kidneys by inflammation, toxins, drugs, infection, or
reduced blood supply
, post-renal
Correct Answer:
sudden obstruction of urine flow due to enlarged prostate, kidney stones,
bladder tumor, or injury
In post-renal failure, the damage occurs in the collecting duct.
Correct Answer:
true
In intrinsic renal failure, sodium and water excretion is increased which leads
to a dilute urine.
Correct Answer:
true
Which of the following is the best indicator of a good prognosis for recovery
from acute renal failure?
Correct Answer:
The kidney responds to furosemide
Which of the following is true regarding creatinine?
Correct Answer:
Creatinine gets freely filtered from the glomerulus
