Answer to Question 1

Ans:
B

Feedback:

CKD is associated with low vitamin D and calcitriol levels, which induces increased PTH production. CKD is also associated with acidosis (low pH), high levels of phosphate, and hyperkalemia.

Answer to Question 2

Ans:
C

Feedback:

Ethylene glycol is found in products ranging from antifreeze and deicing solutions to carpet and fabric cleaners. It tastes sweet and is intoxicatingthe factors that contribute to its abuse potential. A lethal dose is approximately 100 mL. It is rapidly absorbed from the intestine, making treatment with either gastric lavage or syrup of ipecac ineffective. Fomepizole, with specific indications for ethylene glycol poisoning, was recently approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
