Question 1

Accepted Answer

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can indeed spread from one part of the urinary system to another, such as from the bladder (causing cystitis) to the kidneys (leading to pyelonephritis). This is why prompt and effective treatment of UTIs is important to prevent the spread of infection.

Question 2

A person with cystitis may have which of the following signs and symptoms?&#10;A) Urinary frequency with large amounts of bloody urine&#10;B) Dysuria and urinary urgency&#10;C) Constipation&#10;D) Changes in skin color and dry, itchy skin

Cystitis, which is inflammation of the bladder, often causes symptoms such as dysuria (painful urination) and urinary urgency.

Question 3

A resident had a transurethral resection of the prostate. Which of the following should be included in the person's care plan?&#10;A) Resume normal activity.&#10;B) Restrict fluids to 1000 mL each day.&#10;C) Measures to prevent constipation.&#10;D) Heavy lifting permitted if not strenuous.

Accepted Answer

After a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP), it's important to prevent constipation to avoid straining during bowel movements, which can increase pressure on the surgery site and cause bleeding. Measures to prevent constipation, such as a high-fiber diet and adequate fluid intake, are therefore essential in the care plan.

Question 4

The person with kidney stones usually experiences which of the following?&#10;A) Changes in skin color and dry, itchy skin&#10;B) Severe, cramping pain in the back and side&#10;C) Chest pain&#10;D) Constipation

Accepted Answer

Kidney stones typically cause severe, cramping pain in the back and side, often referred to as renal colic. This pain occurs when the stones move into the ureter, causing a blockage and intense pain.

Question 5

Which statement about renal failure is correct?&#10;A) The person is very ill.&#10;B) Heart attack can result.&#10;C) The body releases excess fluids.&#10;D) Waste products are removed from the blood.

Accepted Answer

Renal failure is a serious condition in which the kidneys are unable to function properly. This can lead to a build-up of waste products in the blood, which can cause a variety of health problems.

Question 6

Which is a cause of acute renal failure?&#10;A) Immunizations&#10;B) Childbirth&#10;C) Asthma&#10;D) Burns, infection, or severe allergic reactions

Accepted Answer

Burns, infections, or severe allergic reactions can lead to acute renal failure by causing a sudden reduction in kidney function due to damage to the kidneys or a decrease in blood flow to the kidneys.

Question 7

A person has acute renal failure. Which of the following should be included in the care plan?&#10;A) Measure urine output daily.&#10;B) Encourage fluids.&#10;C) Assist with coughing and deep-breathing exercises.&#10;D) Weigh weekly.

Question 8

A resident has chronic renal failure. Which of the following should be included in the person's care plan?&#10;A) Measures to encourage fluids.&#10;B) Measures to encourage frequent ambulation.&#10;C) Measures for weight gain.&#10;D) Measures to prevent pressure ulcers.

Accepted Answer

Chronic renal failure can lead to decreased mobility and prolonged periods of immobility, increasing the risk of pressure ulcers. Measures to prevent pressure ulcers, such as regular repositioning and skin care, are essential in the care plan for someone with chronic renal failure. Encouraging fluids, frequent ambulation, and weight gain may not be appropriate for all individuals with chronic renal failure, as their condition may require fluid restrictions, they may have limited mobility, and weight management needs to be carefully monitored.

Question 9

A resident has chronic kidney failure. The person needs which of the following?&#10;A) Weight reduction exercises&#10;B) Frequent oral hygiene&#10;C) Weekly weight measurements&#10;D) A high-protein diet

Accepted Answer

Chronic kidney failure can lead to uremia, which causes bad breath and a metallic taste in the mouth, making frequent oral hygiene important.

These precautions are essential in preventing the transmission of STDs in healthcare settings.
