Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a 68-year-old hospitalized patient with a decreased glomerular filtration rate who is scheduled for an intravenous pyelogram (IVP). Which action will be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Monitoring urine output post-IVP is key due to nephrotoxic contrast risk.
Question 2 of 5
Solutes move from the blood in the glomerular capillaries into the Bowman's capsule due to which of the following influences?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: High glomerular pressure forces solutes into Bowman's capsule.
Question 3 of 5
What is the collective term applied to the proximal and distal convoluted tubules, the loop of Henle (i.e. the nephron loop) and the glomerular capsule?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Renal tubule includes these parts, excluding glomerulus.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Hydrostatic pressure difference drives glomerular filtration.
Question 5 of 5
By what process(es) do water and solutes move from blood in the glomerulus into the Bowman's capsule?
