FAMILY NUR NSG5003 week 8 kc questions. Question 1 |0.5 points| What effects do exercise and body position have on renal blood flow? Question 1 options: They activate renal parasympathetic neurons and cause mild vasoconstriction. Both activate renal parasympathetic neurons and cause mild vasodilation. They activate renal sympathetic neurons and cause mild vasodilation. Save Question 2 (0.5 points) Blood vessels of the kidneys are innervated by the: Question 2 options: Vagus nerve Somatic nervous system Parasympathetic nervous system Save Question 3 (0.5 points) When renin is released, it is capable of which action? Question 3 options: Inactivation of autoregulation Direct activation of angiotensin II Direct release of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) Save Question 4 (0.5 points) Which effect do natriuretic peptides have during heart failure when the heart dilates? Question 4 options: Stimulation of antidiuretic hormones (ADH) Inhibition of ADH Stimulation of renin and aldosterone Save Question 5 (0.5 points) What is the direct action of atrial natriuretic hormone? Question 5 options: Sodium retention Water retention Water excretion Save Question 6 (0.5 points) Which term is used to identify the movement of fluids and solutes from the tubular lumen to the peritubular capillary plasma? Question 6 options: Tubular secretion Ultrafiltration Tubular excretion Save Question 7 (0.5 points) Which statement is true regarding urodilatin? Question 7 options: Urodilatin inhibits sodium chloride and water reabsorption in the medullary part of the collecting duct. Urodilatin inhibits antidiuretic hormone (ADH) to prevent water reabsorption in the medullary part of the collecting duct. Urodilatin is stimulated by a fall in blood pressure and a decrease in extracellular volume. Save Question 8 (0.5 points) Compared to a younger individual, how is the specific gravity of urine in older adults affected? Question 8 options: The specific gravity of urine in older adults is increased. The specific gravity of urine in older adults is considered high normal. The specific gravity of urine in older adults is decreased. Save Question 9 (0.5 points) How are glucose and insulin used to treat hyperkalemia associated with acute renal failure? Question 9 options: Glucose has an osmotic effect, which attracts water and sodium, resulting in more dilute blood and a lower potassium concentration. Potassium attaches to receptors on the cell membrane of glucose and is carried into the cell. Increasing insulin causes ketoacidosis, which causes potassium to move into the cell in exchange for hydrogen. Save Question 10 (0.5 points) Which statement is false concerning the skeletal alterations caused by chronic renal failure when the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) declines to 25% of normal? Question 10 options: Parathyroid hormone is no longer effective in maintaining serum phosphate levels. The synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, which reduces intestinal absorption of calcium, is impaired. The synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3, which impairs the effectiveness of calcium and phosphate resorption from bone by parathyroid hormone, is impaired. Save Question 11 (0.5 points) Anemia of chronic renal failure can be successfully treated with which element? Question 11 options: Intrinsic factor Vitamin B12 Vitamin D Save Question 12 (0.5 points) Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) may be accompanied by a positive throat or skin culture for which bacteria? Question 12 options: Staphylococcus aureus Pseudomonas aeruginosa Haemophilus Save Question 13 (0.5 points) What is the cause of smoky, brown-colored urine resulting from acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis? Question 13 options: Presence of urobilinogen Slough from the collecting tubules Protein in the urine Save Question 14 (0.5 points) What is the pathophysiologic process responsible for the autoimmune disorder of hemolytic-uremic syndrome (HUS)? Question 14 options: Immunoglobulin A (IgA) coats erythrocytes that are destroyed by the spleen, and remnants are excreted through the kidneys. Endotoxins from E. coli block the erythropoietin produced by the kidneys, which reduces the number of erythrocytes produced by the bone marrow. Failure of the nephrons to filter urea increases the blood urea nitrogen (BUN), which binds to erythrocytes that are subsequently destroyed by the spleen. Save Question 15 (0.5 points) What is the first indication of nephrotic syndrome in children? Question 15 options: Scrotal or labial edema Frothy urine Ascites Save Question 16 (0.5 points) Bacteria gain access to the female urinary tract by which means? Question 16 options: Systemic blood that is filtered through the kidney Bacteria traveling from the lymph adjacent to the bladder and kidneys Colonization of the bladder when urine is static Save Question 17 (0.5 points) What causes vesicoureteral reflux to occur in children? Question 17 options: Children do not ask for help in urinating in a timely manner, and urine is forced up into the ureters. The trigone lying between the opening to the ureters and the urethra is underdeveloped in children. As the bladder fills in infants and children, it pulls the smooth lining of the transitional epithelium away from the ureters, making the reflux valves ineffective. Save Question 18 (0.5 points) What is the mechanism for developing Wilms’ tumor? Question 18 options: Development involves an autosomal dominant inherited disorder involving the Y chromosome. Wilms’ tumor is an autoimmune disorder. The development of Wilms’ tumor is a congenital anomaly. Save Question 19 (0.5 points) Which statement is false about the causes of enuresis? Question 19 options: A maturational lag may cause enuresis. Enuresis may be related to increased light sleep. Obstructive sleep apnea may be a symptom of enuresis. Save Question 20 (0.5 points) When does an individual have his or her full complement of renal nephrons? Question 20 options: At puberty Between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one years Save
