Which of the following are causes of intrarenal acute kidney injury? (Select all that apply.)

Hemoglobin from hemolyzed RBCs

Benign prostatic hyperplasia

Prostate cancer

Myoglobin release from necrotic muscle cells

Nephrotoxins

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,D,E

Choice A rationale
Hemoglobin released from hemolyzed red blood cells (RBCs) can cause intrarenal acute kidney injury by obstructing the renal tubules and damaging the nephrons.

Choice B rationale
Benign prostatic hyperplasia is a cause of postrenal, not intrarenal, acute kidney injury as it can obstruct the flow of urine out of the bladder.

Choice C rationale
Prostate cancer, similar to benign prostatic hyperplasia, typically leads to postrenal acute kidney injury due to urinary obstruction.

Choice D rationale
Myoglobin released from necrotic muscle cells, as seen in conditions like rhabdomyolysis, can cause intrarenal acute kidney injury by precipitating in the renal tubules.

Choice E rationale
Nephrotoxins, such as certain medications, chemicals, or toxins, can directly damage the kidney tissue, leading to intrarenal acute kidney injury.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

Choice A rationale
Chest pain that is relieved with eating or drinking water is not typically indicative of a complication from a peptic ulcer. This symptom may be related to conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

Choice B rationale
Burning epigastric pain after eating is a common symptom of a peptic ulcer and, while uncomfortable, does not usually require an urgent change in the plan of care unless it significantly worsens or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms.

Choice C rationale
Back pain after eating can be associated with a peptic ulcer if the ulcer is located at the back of the stomach or the pain radiates; however, it does not typically warrant an urgent change in care without other symptoms.

Choice D rationale
A rigid abdomen and vomiting following indigestion can indicate a perforated ulcer, which is a medical emergency. This requires immediate intervention and possibly surgical consultation, thus warranting an urgent change in the nursing plan of care.

A. Combat infection B. Control inflammation C. Correct and prevent malnutrition D. Increase stress E. Cure illness

Correct Answer is ["B","C"]

Explanation

Choice A rationale

While infections can occur in IBD, the primary goal is not to combat infection but to manage the underlying inflammation¹.

Choice B rationale

Controlling inflammation is a key treatment goal in IBD to alleviate symptoms and induce and maintain remission².

Choice C rationale

Correcting and preventing malnutrition is essential in IBD management due to potential nutrient absorption issues¹.

Choice D rationale

Increasing stress is not a treatment goal for IBD. In fact, reducing stress can help manage IBD symptoms².

Choice E rationale

While IBD currently has no cure, the goals are to manage symptoms, induce remission, and improve quality of life².
