Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
Nephritic syndrome is hematuria and red blood cell casts in the urine. Proteinuria is usually less severe than in nephrotic syndrome. The patient with nephritic syndrome does not experience dysuria or oliguria.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
With blood loss, renal failure is due to inadequate blood flow since the trigger occurs outside of the kidney (prerenal). Kidney stones will lead to postrenal renal failure. Intrarenal renal failure is due to glomerular nephritis or obstruction of the proximal tubule.
