Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Longstanding hypertension leads to sclerosis and narrowing of renal arterioles and small arteries with subsequent reduction of blood flow. This leads to ischemia, glomerular destruction, and tubular atrophy. Diabetic nephropathy causes renal failure by thickening and sclerosis of the glomerular basement membrane and the glomerulus with a gradual destruction of nephrons. Polycystic kidney disease causes renal failure by multiple bilateral cysts gradually compressing renal tissue, impairing renal perfusion and leading to ischemia, which damages and destroys normal kidney tissue. Systemic lupus erythematosus causes renal failure by the formation of immune complexes in the capillary basement membrane, which lead to inflammation and sclerosis

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C

Carrots; green, leafy vegetables; pears; and bananas are high in potassium. Spaghetti and meat sauce with breadsticks would be the most appropriate meal from the choices provided.
