Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1, 3, 4, 5
In kidney trauma retroperitoneal bleeding from the kidney may cause Turner sign, a bluish discoloration of the flank. The primary manifestation of kidney trauma includes microscopic hematuria. In kidney trauma signs of shock such as hypotension and tachycardia can occur. Nausea and vomiting are not manifestations of kidney trauma.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2
Home care teaching focuses on protecting the remaining kidney by avoiding contact sports and using measures to prevent motor vehicle accidents and falls that could damage it. Older male patients should know manifestations of prostatic hypertrophy and schedule routine screening exams. Monitoring weight, noting any signs of rejection, and maintaining prescribed fluid restrictions are concerns for the patient after a kidney transplant.
