Answer to Question 1

A, B, C, E
The patient with acute glomerulonephritis usually becomes suddenly ill with fever, chills, flank pain, widespread edema, puffiness about the eyes, visual disturbances, and marked hypertension. The urine may be smoky and will contain red blood cells and protein, and urine will have an in-creased specific gravity. Serum creatinine and BUN levels rise above normal rather than decrease. Diagnosis is based on physical findings.

Answer to Question 2

B
Myocardial necrosis (damaged or dead heart muscle tissue) cannot contract effectively, which decreases pumping efficiency (cardiac output).

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).

Anesthesia awareness is a potentially disturbing adverse effect wherein patients who have been paralyzed with muscle relaxants may awaken. They may be aware of their surroundings but unable to communicate or move. Neurologic monitoring equipment that helps to more closely check the patient's anesthesia stages is now available to avoid the occurrence of anesthesia awareness.
