Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
HUS is the most common cause of acute renal failure in children. Glomerulonephritis can lead to renal failure, but it is not the most common. While either obstruction or nephrotic syndrome could contribute to renal failure, neither is not the most common cause.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
VUR is the retrograde flow of urine from the bladder into the kidney or ureters, or both.
The condition is ureteral, not urethral. It results in reflux, not influx. Reflux could lead to pyelo-nephritis, not hydronephrosis.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
