Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Functions of the kidneys include filtering the blood, removing waste products from the blood, regulating both fluid and electrolyte and acid-base balance, and releasing hormones.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency, and the nurse's priorities are to facilitate surgery. The nurse must ensure a signed consent is on the chart. Treating pain is important too, but the consent is a legal requirement. Prophylactic antibiotics may or may not be given. Ice and elevation may be helpful as a comfort measure, but do not take priority over the consent.

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
