Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The remaining kidney would hypertrophy to compensate for the increased workload of the loss of the affected kidney. Compensation for such a situation would not include atrophy or a change in cell structure of the remaining kidney. Renal failure would be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The most important factor in renal calculus formation is urine pH, not gender, although calculi form more often in men. Neither body temperature nor serum mineral concentrations are as im-portant as urine pH.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
