What is a modifiable risk factor for nephrolithiasis?
Individuals with HSV cannot transmit the virus during an active outbreak
Individuals with HSV will develop immunity after the first exposure
Individuals with HSV will experience no pain during an outbreak
Individuals with HSV can experience a recurrence of symptoms periodically
The Correct Answer is A
Choice A rationale
Modifiable risk factors for nephrolithiasis include high urine calcium, high urine oxalate, low urine citrate, high urine uric acid, low urine volume, and certain dietary factors.
Choice B rationale
This statement is incorrect. HSV (Herpes Simplex Virus) transmission can occur even when there are no visible symptoms or sores.
Choice C rationale
This statement is incorrect. Individuals with HSV do not develop immunity after the first exposure.
Choice D rationale
This statement is unrelated to nephrolithiasis. HSV can recur periodically, but it’s not a risk factor for kidney stones.

Correct Answer is A
Explanation
Choice A rationale
Diabetes insipidus is a rare disorder that occurs when a person’s kidneys pass an abnormally large volume of urine that is insipid—dilute and odorless. In most people, the kidneys pass about 1 to 2 quarts of urine a day. In people with diabetes insipidus, the kidneys can pass 3 to 20 quarts of urine a day. As a result, a person with diabetes insipidus may feel the need to drink large amounts of liquids.
Choice B rationale
Overproduction of antidiuretic hormone (ADH) leads to Syndrome of Inappropriate Antidiuretic Hormone (SIADH), not diabetes insipidus.
Choice C rationale
Overproduction of insulin can lead to hypoglycemia, not diabetes insipidus.
Choice D rationale
Insufficient insulin production leads to diabetes mellitus, not diabetes insipidus.
