Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, C, D
Functions of the kidneys include filtering the blood, removing waste products from the blood, regulating both fluid and electrolyte and acid-base balance, and releasing hormones.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Testicular torsion is a surgical emergency, and the nurse's priorities are to facilitate surgery. The nurse must ensure a signed consent is on the chart. Treating pain is important too, but the consent is a legal requirement. Prophylactic antibiotics may or may not be given. Ice and elevation may be helpful as a comfort measure, but do not take priority over the consent.
