Answer to Question 1

B
During menopause, decreasing estrogen levels may cause hot flashes. Cherries, yams, and black beans are foods rich in phytoestrogens, substances found in plants that may act like normally produced estrogen. Red meat and leafy greens are rich in iron, carrots, and asparagus are rich in beta carotene. Yogurt and cheese are rich in calcium. Iron, beta carotene, and calcium are not known to impact estrogen levels.

Answer to Question 2

B
Postprocedure care for the patient who has undergone a renal biopsy will include monitoring for bleeding, avoiding activities that could increase abdominal pressure, and keeping the patient flat for 6 to 24 hours. Laughing and sneezing increase abdominal pressure and should be avoided; splinting when sneezing will help to decrease abdominal pressure. Oral intake is encouraged. Bloody urine is expected for the first 24 hours after the biopsy. The patient should increase fluid intake unless otherwise contraindicated and drink at least 3000 mL of fluid to flush the urinary system.
