  B) Kidney stones D) Pancreatitis

Question 2

Mrs. F asks the nurse about the need for vitamin supplementation for her husband who is on dialysis. She would like to give her husband a multivitamin twice a day since his appetite is not good. The best response for the nurse would be:
 
  1. Your husband should not need extra fat-soluble vitamins because they are not removed by dialysis..
   2. Vitamins are not toxic and extra amounts will not cause harm..
   3. All water-soluble vitamins are removed by dialysis..
   4. The most common vitamin deficiency is B12, so only give him that..

Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Obesity is associated with a wide variety of comorbidities, including diabetes, hyperlipidemia, fatty liver disease, obstructive sleep apnea, GERD, vertebral disk disease, osteoarthritis, and increased risk of certain cancers.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale: Fat-soluble vitamins are not removed during dialysis and should not need to be replaced. There can be some deficiencies in water-soluble vitamins and there is some evidence that one multivitamin a day may be beneficial, but there are no recommendation for more than one a day. Excess amounts of vitamins are not recommended and can be harmful. Not all water-soluble vitamins are lost during dialysis. Vitamin B12 is protein bound and not removed by dialysis.

There are major differences in the metabolism of morphine and the illegal drug heroin. Morphine mostly produces its CNS effects through m-receptors, and at k- and d-receptors. Heroin has a slight affinity for opiate receptors. Most of its actions are due to metabolism to active metabolites (6-acetylmorphine, morphine, and morphine-6-glucuronide).

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt.
