Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client experiencing kidney failure. The nurse recognizes that kidney failure causes the loss of which of the following processes integral to maintaining homeostasis?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Filtration of the blood. Kidneys play a crucial role in filtering waste products and excess fluids from the blood to maintain electrolyte balance and regulate blood pressure. Kidney failure impairs this filtration process, leading to a buildup of toxins in the blood. The loss of filtration function disrupts homeostasis by affecting fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and waste removal.
Choices A, C, and D are not directly related to kidney function and do not address the primary role of the kidneys in maintaining homeostasis.
