Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The GFR and Pcr are inversely related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The GFR provides the best estimate of functioning renal tissue. The best estimate of renal func-tion is not associated with the measurement of circulating ADH levels, urine output, or specific gravity.
