To prevent the most common serious complication of peritoneal dialysis (PD), it is important for the nurse to

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Infection (peritonitis) is the top peritoneal dialysis complication; aseptic technique prevents it not slow infusion (flow), bowel prep (constipation), or positioning (comfort). This distinguishes infection control, vital for PD safety, contrasting with procedural adjustments.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Obturator nerve exits the psoas major medially to innervate adductors, unlike iliohypogastric/ilioinguinal (lateral), genitofemoral (anterior), or femoral (lateral). This distinguishes lumbar plexus anatomy, key for surgical approaches, contrasting with other trajectories.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Both minimal change disease (MCD) and membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) cause nephrotic syndrome (proteinuria, edema) MGN has IgG deposits, MCD responds to steroids, neither thickens loops typically. This distinguishes shared nephrotic features, key for diagnosis, contrasting with specific traits.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Mesonephros cranial to ureteric bud forms male genital ducts (epididymis, vas) not female, paramesonephric (Mullerian), or utricle (sinus derivative). This distinguishes embryonic urogenital development, key for sex differentiation, contrasting with female structures.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Most renal calculi (75-85%) are calcium oxalate or phosphate not cystine (rare), urate (less common), or mixed. This distinguishes stone composition, vital for treatment, contrasting with minority types.
