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).
