Answer to Question 1

1, 3, 4, 5

Rationale 1: Water is the most important molecule reabsorbed in the tubule.
Rationale 2: Hydrogen ions are not reabsorbed.
Rationale 3: Glucose is reabsorbed in the tubule.
Rationale 4: Sodium is reabsorbed in the tubule.
Rationale 5: Amino acids are reabsorbed.

Global Rationale: Water, glucose, amino acids, and essential ions such as sodium, chloride, calcium, and bicarbonate are reabsorbed in the tubule.

Answer to Question 2

1

Rationale 1:Reabsorption and secretion are critical to the pharmacokinetics of many drugs in the kidney.
Rationale 2: Digestion is completed by the GI tract and excretion is pertinent to the kidneys.
Rationale 3: Diuretics promote diuresis and elimination but these are not the pharmacokinetics of the kidney.
Rationale 4: Ingestion and recirculation are not relevant to the pharmacokinetics or movement of fluid by the kidney.

Global Rationale: Reabsorption and secretion are critical to the pharmacokinetics of many drugs in the kidney. Some drugs are reabsorbed, whereas others are secreted into the filtrate.

Though Candida and Aspergillus species are the most common fungal pathogens causing invasive fungal disease in the immunocompromised, infections due to previously uncommon hyaline and dematiaceous filamentous fungi are occurring more often today. Rare fungal infections, once accurately diagnosed, may require surgical debridement, immunotherapy, and newer antifungals used singly or in combination with older antifungals, on a case-by-case basis.
