Answer to Question 1

Ans:
A, C, F

Feedback:

Hemorrhage, heart failure, and dehydration (hypovolemia) are all noted contributors to prerenal failure. Pyelonephritis and damage from nephrotoxic drugs would more likely result in intrinsic renal failure, while BPH is postrenal in nature.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
D, B, F, C, A, E

Feedback:

Ingested food and fluids enter the stomach through the hiatus, exit through the pylorus, and pass through the three subdivisions of the small intestine: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. The cecum is a component of the large bowel.
