Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Erythropoietin is produced by the kidneys. A patient with chronic kidney disease produces less erythropoietin, resulting in anemia and fatigue as a common symptom. Thirst, or polydipsia, is a common sign of hyperglycemia and diabetes which can lead to chronic kidney disease. Constipation is not a common symptom of chronic kidney disease. Excessive bleeding can result from a decrease in platelets and clotting factors that are produced by the liver, not the kidneys.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Chronic fatigue syndrome is considered an illness with an unknown etiology. There are no specific lab results that reveal chronic fatigue syndrome. Stress and mental illnesses may be contributing factors, but are not classified as exact causes of chronic fatigue syndrome.
