you expect to find?
Less than 1.005
Exactly 1.020
Between 1.005 and 1.010
Greater than 1.030
2. A patient is producing less than 400 mL of urine per day. What clinical
condition might this indicate?
Anuria
Normal urine output
Polyuria

3.5-4.9 mEq/L
135-145 mEq/L
97-110 mEq/L
22-26 mEq/L
4. For an adult, _____ mg/dL is a "borderline high" for total blood cholesterol
value.
165
, 205

5. Describe the significance of maintaining calcium levels within the normal
range in the human body.
Calcium levels primarily affect only muscle function.
Calcium levels are only important for blood clotting.
Calcium levels are not significant for bodily functions.
Maintaining calcium levels within the normal range is essential for
bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission.

8. If a patient presents with glucose in their urine, what condition might this
indicate, and how should a nurse respond?
This might indicate a urinary tract infection, and the nurse should
prescribe antibiotics.
This might indicate kidney disease, and the nurse should increase fluid
intake.
This might indicate diabetes mellitus, and the nurse should assess
the patient's blood glucose levels and report findings to the
physician.
This might indicate dehydration, and the nurse should monitor urine
output.
9. If a patient has a urine pH of 9.0, what clinical implications might this have?
