Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Blood flowing through an AV fistula goes from a high-pressure system into a low-pressure system during circulation, leading to turbulent flow. It is a normal finding and not caused by the AV valve or small blood clots.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Anemia is common with chronic kidney disease due to reduced erythropoeitin, which is vital for making red blood cells. The other answers are incorrect.
