NURS EXAM QUESTIONS WITH ANSWERS WEEK 4
When describing the male urinary anatomy, which information should the nurse include? The portion
of the male urethra that is closest to the bladder is the portion.
Prostate
A 28-year-old female is diagnosed with renal calculus that is causing obstruction. What are the
symptoms would she most likely experience?
Hematuria
A 27-year-old female is diagnosed with urinary tract obstruction. While planning care, the nurse realizes
that the patient is expected to have hydronephrosis and a decreased glomerular filtration rate caused
by:
dilation of the renal pelvis and calyces proximal to a blockage.
While turning a patient with chronic renal failure, which principle should the nurse recall? Bone
fractures are a risk factor in chronic renal failure because:
The kidneys fail to activate vitamin D.
A 27-year-old female presents with burning urination. She was diagnosed with a urinary tract
infection. When the nurse checks the culture results, which organisms are most likely infecting her
urinary tract?
Escherichia coli
When the nurse discusses the glomerulus and Bowman capsule together, it is referred to as the renal:
Correct. Corpuscle
The urologist is teaching about the nephrons that determine the concentration of the urine.
The urologist is discussing the nephrons.
Correct. Juxtamedullary
A 21-year-old female was involved in a motor vehicle accident during which she sustained a closed head
injury. She is now experiencing detrusor sphincter dyssynergia. What is the most beneficial medication
treatment?
Correct. Alpha blocker
, When a child is admitted with acute renal failure, a clinician realizes the most common cause of
Hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)
When a nurse is checking the urinalysis, plasma proteins should be absent from the urine because:
The negative charge of the glomerular filtration membrane repels the plasma proteins.
A nurse is preparing to teach about the loop of Henle. Which information should be included? The
descending segment of the loop of Henle primarily allows for:
Water reabsorption
A nurse is describing the trigone. Which information should be included? The trigone is defined. A
triangular area between the openings of the two ureters and the urethra
A urologist is discussing the phagocytic cells that lie between the layers of the renal corpuscle. What
is the urologist describing? Mesangial cells
A 47-year-old male presents reporting urinary retention. Tests reveal that he has a lower urinary tract
obstruction. A nurse would be most concerned with?
Formation of renal calculi
A 29-year-old hypertensive male begins taking a diuretic. Which common side effects of this medication
should the nurse monitor? Hypokalemia
A 60-year-old male is diagnosed with renal failure. While the nurse is reviewing lab results, which of the
following lab values would be most consistent with this diagnosis? Elevated plasma creatinine level
A 50-year-old male is involved in a motor vehicle accident during which he loses a lot of blood. The
nurse realizes he is in acute renal failure caused by:
Inadequate renal blood flow
A 9-year-old male was diagnosed with glomerulonephritis. History reveals that he had an infection 3
weeks before the onset of this condition. The infection was most likely located in the Respiratory tract :
• A 2-year-old male is diagnosed with Wilms tumor. Which of the following clinical conditions is often
associated with this disease? Aniridia
When a patient’s renal system secretes renin, what effect will that cause on the body? It causes the
direct activation of CAngiotensin II :
Anemia accompanies chronic renal failure because of: Inadequate production of erythropoietin
A 30-year-old male is demonstrating hematuria with red blood cell casts and proteinuria exceeding 3
to 5 g/day, with albumin being the major protein. The most probable diagnosis the nurse will see
documented on the chart is::Acute glomerulonephritis :
