NSG 530 Exam 3 UPDATED ACTUAL
Exam Questions and CORRECT Answers
Pyelonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - inflammation of the renal pelvis and the kidney
Chronic Pyelonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - Interstitial fibrosis and atrophy of
tubules due to multiple bouts of acute pyelonephritis
Can be associated with chronic UTI's, vesicoureteral reflux, or kidney stones
Cystitis - CORRECT ANSWER - Inflammation of the bladder
Common pathogens are E. Coli and staphylococcus saphrophyticus
Symptoms of cystitis - CORRECT ANSWER - Frequency, urgency, dysuria, lower back
pain
Renal cell carcinoma - CORRECT ANSWER - cancerous tumor that arises from kidney
tubule cells
Renal adenoma - CORRECT ANSWER - small, slow-growing glandular noncancerous
tumor of the kidney
Renal transitional cell carcinoma - CORRECT ANSWER - rare and primarily arises in the
renal parenchyma and renal pelvis.
Transitional cell carcinoma - CORRECT ANSWER - a malignant tumor of the urinary
tract that is often found within the urinary bladder or within the renal pelvis. Generally occurs in
older men. Gross painless hematuria
Gomerulonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - inflammation of the glomeruli within the
kidney
, Primary glomerulonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - inflammation of the glomeruli of the
kidneys that occurs independently of other chronic conditions; usually the result of an acute
infectious process
secondary glomerulonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - inflammation of the glomeruli of
the kidneys that results from other chronic conditions, such as lupus erythematosus or diabetes.
Symptoms of glomerulonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - Hematuria with red blood cell
casts, proteinuria with albumin, oliguria, HTN, edema, nephrotic sediment
Types of glomerulonephritis - CORRECT ANSWER - - membranous nephropathy/
glomerulonephritis
- rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis
-Anti-glomerular basement membrane disease (goodpasture syndrome)
- chronic glomerulonephritis
-diabetic neuropathy
Nephrotic syndrome - CORRECT ANSWER - loss of large amounts of plasma protein,
usually albumin, through urine due to an increased permeability of the glomerular membrane
Causes of nephrotic syndrome - CORRECT ANSWER - Membranous glomerulonephritis
Minimal change nephropathy
Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis
-systemic disease such as diabetes or lupus
Hypospadias - CORRECT ANSWER - congenital abnormality in which the male urethral
opening is on the undersurface of the penis, instead of at its tip
