Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A reason: Painful and red-tinged urination could be related to kidney stones but is not directly relevant to the preparation for an intravenous pyelogram.

Choice B reason: The end of the menstrual period is not typically relevant to the preparation for an intravenous pyelogram.

Choice C reason: Drinking ﬂuids is generally encouraged but does not need to be reported unless it is restricted before the procedure.

Choice D reason: The client's allergy to shellfish is important to report because the contrast dye used in an intravenous pyelogram may contain iodine, which can cause a reaction in people with shellfish allergies.

A. Pre-Renal B. Super-secret double renal failure C. Post-Renal D. Intra-Renal

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A reason: Pre-Renal failure is caused by factors external to the kidneys, typically involving reduced blood ﬂow or hydration aﬀecting kidney function. Gentamicin does not typically cause this type of failure.
Choice B reason : 'Super-secret double renal failure' is not a medically recognized type of renal failure.
Choice C reason : Post-Renal failure is due to obstruction of urine ﬂow from the kidneys, which is not typically associated with Gentamicin use.
Choice D reason : Intra-Renal failure, also known as intrinsic renal failure, is caused by direct damage to the kidneys themselves. Gentamicin can cause acute kidney injury due to its nephrotoxic eﬀects, leading to Intra-Renal failure.
