Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
During the physical assessment the nurse should assess for manifestations that might indicate a genetic disorder. If data indicate the presence of genetic risk factors or alterations, ask about genetic testing and refer for appropriate genetic counseling and evaluation. Chronic kidney disease may be a complication of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) but is seen more often in patients with type 1 DM. Type 1 and type 2 DM are classified as multifactorial inheritance disorders because both genetic and environmental factors are necessary for onset of the disorder. The patient does not need a home health nurse, an obstetrician, or a physical therapist.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
A renal ultrasound is a noninvasive test conducted to detect renal or perirenal masses, identify obstructions, and diagnose renal cysts and solid masses. It is done by applying a conductive gel to the skin and placing a small external ultrasound probe on the patient's skin. Sound waves are recorded on a computer as they are reflected off tissues. There is no discomfort associated with the test and pain medications or conscious sedation is not needed.
