Question 1 of 5
Which of the following would NOT be secreted from the ISF into the filtrate?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Amino acids (B) are reabsorbed in the PCT, not secreted, to conserve nutrients. Organic acids (A), bases (C), and creatinine (D) are secreted to eliminate waste, making B the exception.
Question 2 of 5
Which information noted by the nurse when caring for a patient with a bladder infection is most important to report to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Flank pain (C) in a bladder infection suggests pyelonephritis, a complication needing prompt reporting. Dysuria (A), hematuria (B), and mild fever (D) are typical, but upper tract involvement is urgent, making C most important.
Question 3 of 5
Which statement by a patient who had a cystoscopy the previous day should the nurse report immediately to the health care provider?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The patient's elevated temperature may indicate a bladder infection, a possible complication of cystoscopy. The health care provider should be notified so that antibiotic therapy can be started. Pink-tinged urine is expected after a cystoscopy. The insomnia and bruising should be discussed further with the patient but do not indicate a need to notify the health care provider.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who has kidney disease. How does the nurse end a 24-hour urine test at the end of the 24 hours?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The final void at 24 hours (A) completes the 24-hour collection, added to the container. Discarding (B) loses data, 100 mL (C) isn't standard, and first/last (D) isn't the protocol, making A the correct step.
