Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The creatinine clearance test uses a collected urine specimen to indicate glomerular filtration rate and renal insufficiency. A urinalysis (UA) provides much information about the condition of the bladder and kidneys as well as other body systems. The blood urea nitrogen (BUN) test determines how efficiently the glomeruli remove the nitrogenous wastes (urea) that result from protein metabolism. Uric acid studies may be obtained from urine or serum. The main diagnostic purpose of obtaining a uric acid level is to evaluate the client for gouty arthritis or kidney disease.

Answer to Question 2

B

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. 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.
