Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Chronic pyelonephritis involves chronic inflammation and scarring of the tubules and interstitial tissues of the kidney. It is a common cause of chronic kidney disease. Cystitis may cause acute pyelonephritis and acute renal failure. Renal calculi are generally caused by dietary intake, not by chronic pyelonephritis.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Risk factors for urinary tract infections (UTIs) include sexual intercourse and the use of diaphragm and spermicidal compounds for birth control. Employment status, height and weight, and activity status do not have a direct relationship to repeat UTI.
