Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Clients with chronic alterations in kidney function cannot produce sufficient quantities of the hormone erythropoietin; therefore they are prone to anemia. The remaining options deal with nonphysiological events or conditions that are more causes of the dysfunction, not effects.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Clients with chronic alterations in kidney function cannot produce sufficient quantities of the hormone erythropoietin; therefore they are prone to anemia. Diabetes mellitus may be a cause of the renal dysfunction, and the client may or may not be depressed. Hypertension, not hypoten-sion, is a typical outcome of kidney dysfunction.
