Urinary System Questions Questions
Question 1 of 5
If MAP increased from 120 mmHg to 210 mmHg, GFR would most likely
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Mean arterial pressure (MAP) rising from 120 to 210 mmHg increases glomerular hydrostatic pressure, boosting GFR (A), unless autoregulation fails beyond ~160 mmHg. Decrease (B) or no change (C) ignores pressure effects, making A likely.
Question 2 of 5
A patient in the hospital has a history of functional urinary incontinence. Which nursing action will be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Functional incontinence from mobility/cognitive issues improves with a bedside commode (A) for easier access. Credé (B) and residuals (C) are for overflow, and Kegel (D) is for stress incontinence, making A the best action.
Question 3 of 5
Which question should the nurse ask to assess a patient's dysuria?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Dysuria is painful urination. The alternate responses can be used to assess other urinary tract symptoms: hematuria, nocturia, and frequency.
Question 4 of 5
When working in the urology/nephrology clinic, which patient's care could the nurse delegate to an experienced licensed practical/vocational nurse (LPN/VN)?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: LPN/VN education includes common procedures such as catheterization of stable patients. The other patients require complex assessments or patient teaching that are included in registered nurse (RN) education and scope of practice.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is helping to prepare a patient for a renal biopsy. What position should the nurse help the patient assume?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Prone position (D) with a sandbag under the abdomen allows flank access for renal biopsy. Sims (A) is lateral, Fowler's (B) is semi-sitting, and supine (C) is face-up, making D the required position.
