Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The ears and kidneys develop at the same time in utero. Congenital deafness is associated with renal disease. Even though all other systems would be assessed to make sure their function is normal, the auditory function of the baby with known renal disease would be important to assess because of the embryonic development.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Foamy, amber-colored urine may indicate the presence of hepatic illness (liver disease). Pain is the primary symptom for the client with kidney stones. The pain may radiate and is variable in location and severity. Other symptoms include spasms, nausea, vomiting, pain on urination, frequency and urgency of urination, and gross hematuria. If a urinary tract infection is present, the client may complain of pain during urination with urgency, frequency, dribbling, pain upon urination, and suprapubic or lower back pain. Hematuria, as well as cloudy and foul-smelling urine may also accompany a urinary tract infection. Prostate disease may make it difficult for male clients to begin or maintain their urine stream.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
