Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
ADH increases water permeability and reabsorption in the last segment of the distal tubule and along the entire length of the collecting ducts. ANP inhibits secretion of renin, inhibits angioten-sin-induced secretion of aldosterone, relaxes vascular smooth muscle, and inhibits sodium and water absorption by kidney tubules. Renin is secreted to raise blood pressure. Aldosterone regu-lates water and sodium balance.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Hypokalemia is a side effect of diuretics. Hypokalemia, not hyponatremia, is a side effect of di-uretic therapy. Diuretics promote uric acid retention, not excretion. Hypokalemia is a side effect of diuretics. Hypermagnesemia is not.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
