,NUR 2115 EXAM 2 REAL EXAM 2023-2024 LATEST 50 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Primary Glomerular Disease - (answer) Associated Disease Process of CKD:
Diseases that destroy the glomerulus of the kidney
Antigen antibody complexes formed in the blood become trapped in glomerular capillaries, leading to
inflammation and glomerular destruction
Symptoms include: proteinuria, hematuria, decreased GFR, decreased excretion of Na+, edema, and HTN
Nephrosclerosis - (answer) Associated Disease Process of CKD:
Hardening of the renal arteries, reducing blood flow to the kidneys
Leads to necrosis of renal parenchyma, fibrosis, and glomerular destruction
Acute Nephritic Syndrome - (answer) Primary Glomerular Disease:
Renal failure with glomerular inflammation
Glomerulonephritis - (answer) Primary Glomerular Disease:
Inflammation of glomerular capillaries (acute or chronic)
Acute Glomerulonephritis - (answer) Associated Disease Process of CKD:
Develops suddenly (days to weeks)
Inflammation of the glomerular capillaries
Caused by previous infections or illnesses- strep throat, viral URI, chicken pox, lupus
Symptoms include: Hematuria, edema , azotemia or proteinuria
Chronic Glomerulonephritis - (answer) Associated Disease Process of CKD:
Develops over time (over months or years)
Repeated insults to the glomeruli causes scar tissue and atrophy of the cortex
, NUR 2115 EXAM 2 REAL EXAM 2023-2024 LATEST 50 QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Caused by repeated episodes of nephritic syndrome, hypertensive nephrosclerosis, hyperlipidemia,
lupus, goodpasture syndrome, or diabetes
"Silent S&S": HTN, elevated BUN or creatinine, imbalanced electrolytes
Generalized symptoms: Wt. loss, nocturia, headaches, digestive disturbances
Progressive kidney damage: Anemia, poorly nourished, grayish skin color, edema, cardiomegaly,
respiratory (fluid build up)
Nephrotic Syndrome - (answer) Associated Disease Process of CKD:
A group of clinical manifestations due to protein wasting through damaged glomeruli
Damaged glomeruli capillaries become permeable to protein resulting in protein loss in the urine
Hypoalbuminemia develops and causes a decrease serum osmotic pressure which causes fluid shift
Caused by diseases that cause damage to the glomerulus and increase glomerular permeability to
plasma proteins
S&S: Edema, proteinuria, mood changes such as irritability, headache and fatigue
Urinalysis - (answer) Urine Diagnostic Studies for Renal Failure:
Examination includes: urine color, clarity, odor, pH, specific gravity, and presence of protein, glucose
Urine Culture and Sensitivity - (answer) Urine Diagnostic Studies for Renal Failure:
Determines presence and type of bacteria present while also identifying which antimicrobial therapy is
effective in treating bacteria
Take a few days to come back
Renal Function or 24 hour urine test - (answer) Urine Diagnostic Studies for Renal Failure:
Urine collected in bottles (on ice) for 24 hours
Renal failure - (answer) A reduction (or absence) of kidney function
Acid base balance
Water removal
Erythropoesis
Toxin Removal
Blood pressure control
