Answer to Question 1

B
Explanation: Nephr/o means kidney and -megaly means enlarged; therefore, nephromegaly means enlarged kidney. -malacia means abnormal softening, so nephromalacia means an abnormally soft kidney. -stenosis means narrowing; thus, nephrostenosis means kidney narrowing. -sclerosis means hardening; thus, nephrosclerosis means kidney hardening.

Answer to Question 2

B
Explanation: An autologous transfusion consists of blood stored from the patient's own body. A homologous transfusion is replacement of blood with blood received from another person. There is not a self or analogous transfusion.
