1.Which sign indicated the second phase of acute renal failure? A. Daily
doubling of urine output
(4 to 5 L/day)
B. Urine output less than 400 ml/day
C. Urine output less than 100 ml/day
D. Stabilization of renal function
RATIONALE: Daily doubling of the urine output indicates that the nephrons are healing. This
means the patient is passing into the second phase (dieresis) of acute renal failure.
2. The most common early sign of kidney disease is:
A. Sodium retention
B.Elevated BUN level
C.Development of metabolic acidosis
D.Inability to dilute or concentrate urine
RATIONALE: Signs and symptoms of acute kidney failure may include: Decreased urine
output, although occasionally urine output remains normal. Fluid retention, causing
swelling in your legs, ankles or feet. Shortness of breath.
3. Your patient is complaining of muscle cramps while undergoing hemodialysis.
Which intervention is effective in relieving muscle cramps?
A.Increase the rate of dialysis
B. Infuse normal saline solution
C.Administer a 5% dextrose solution
D.Encourage active ROM exercises
RATIONALE: Apply heat or cold. Use a warm towel or heating pad on tense

or tight muscles. Taking a warm bath or directing the stream of a hot shower onto the
cramped muscle also can help. Alternatively, massaging the cramped muscle with ice may
relieve pain.
4. Polystyrene sulfonate (Kayexalate) is used in renal failure to:
A.Correct acidosis
B.Reduce serum phosphate levels
C. Exchange potassium for sodium
D.Prevent constipation from sorbitol use
RATIONALE: Management of hyperkalemia is dependent upon the extent of potassium
increase and associated patient symptoms. Sodium polystyrene sulfonate (SPS)
(Kayexalate®) is a cation exchange resin that trades sodium ions for potassium ions, mostly
in the large intestine, to enhance the fecal elimination of excess potassium.
5. What change indicates recovery in a patient with nephrotic syndrome? A.
Disappearance of protein from the urine
B. Decrease in blood pressure to normal
C. Increase in serum lipid levels
D.Gain in body weight
RATIONALE: With nephrotic syndrome, the glomerular basement membrane of the kidney
becomes more porous, leading to loss of protein in the urine. As the patient recovers, less
protein is found in the urine.
