Questions About The Urinary System Questions
Question 1 of 5
A 60 years old male with large (8 cm × 7.5 cm) right renal cell carcinoma requires occasional assistance but able to care for most of one's own needs. The Karnofsky performance Score of this patient is
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Karnofsky score of 60 fits needs occasional help but manages most needs (e.g., 8 cm RCC, functional). 40 is bedridden too low. 50 requires frequent care overstated. 70 is near-normal underestimates impact. 60 distinguishes it, key to performance status in cancer, unlike severe or mild extremes.
Question 2 of 5
Which is not an absolute contraindication for adult renal transplantation?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: BMI >30<35 isn't absolute relative risk (surgery complications), manageable. Morbid obesity (>35) is absolute high perioperative risk. BMI <20 signals malnutrition poor healing, absolute. Anuria (no urine) reflects ESRD transplant candidate, not barrier. Moderate BMI distinguishes it, critical for candidacy flexibility, unlike severe or extreme limits.
Question 3 of 5
Regarding continuous antibiotic prophylaxis in medical management of antenatally diagnosed hydronephrosis
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Prophylaxis for hydronephrosis uses half therapeutic dose prevents UTI (e.g., amoxicillin neonates, TMP-SMX >2 months), true. Amoxicillin fits neonates correct. TMP-SMX suits older infants standard. Evening dosing aids compliance accurate. Half-dose distinguishes it, key to prophylaxis strategy, unlike drug or timing options all true.
Question 4 of 5
Which is not a criterion in International Prostate Symptom Score?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: IPSS assesses LUTS frequency, urgency, incomplete voiding (storage/voiding symptoms) but not dysuria (pain), which is infection/inflammation-related, not BPH-focused. Frequency (how often), urgency (sudden need), and incomplete voiding (residual) quantify obstruction/irritation. Dysuria's exclusion distinguishes IPSS, critical for symptom scoring, unlike pain inclusion.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is not a contraindication for Laparoscopic surgery?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Morbid obesity isn't a contraindication for laparoscopic surgery challenging but feasible with adjustments (e.g., trocar placement), not absolute. Hemodynamic instability risks collapse absolute no. Intestinal obstruction causes distension unsafe pneumoperitoneum. Increased intracranial pressure worsens with COâ‚‚ insufflation dangerous. Obesity's manageability distinguishes it, key to surgical candidacy, unlike life-threatening or mechanical barriers.
