Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Intrarenal acute kidney failure is associated with several systemic diseases but is commonly re-lated to ATN. Prerenal renal failure occurs anterior to the kidney. Extrarenal renal failure occurs outside the kidney. Postrenal is due to diseases that obstruct the flow of urine from the kidneys.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The patient will experience postrenal renal failure due to obstruction by the prostate.
