Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Objective data include all the measurable and observable pieces of information about the client and the client's overall state of health. This includes the vital signs and the laboratory tests to measure the chemical makeup of urine. Subjective data consist of the client's opinions or feelings about what is happening. This includes that the client is afraid of the sharp pain in the kidney area and the client's reasons for coming to the primary care provider's office.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Filtration is the transport of water and dissolved materials through a membrane from an area of higher pressure to an area of lower pressure. Diffusion is the random movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Diffusion is the most important mechanism by which nutrients and waste pass across the cell membrane. Osmosis occurs when water moves from a hypotonic solution to a hypertonic solution.
