Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Creatine is a protein by-product that has to be processed through the kidneys. If an athlete is using it to try to increase muscle size, he should be advised to drink plenty of fluids to help flush it through the kidney and to watch for any swelling that could indicate change in renal function. NSAIDs could aggravate renal problems and cause more swelling. Getting protein from food sources is a natural way to provide the body with proteins. If stomach upset occurs, the athlete should stop using the herbal therapy and not add another drug to his regimen, especially cimetidine that can increase risk of kidney damage.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Tubular secretion is the movement of solutes from the capillary bed into the renal tubule. Glomerular filtration is the passing of fluid from the capillary system into the renal tubule in Bowman's capsule. Tubular reabsorption is the movement of solutes from the tubule into the capillary system.
