• A. apple juice
• B. tea
• C. orange juice
• D. coffee

Correct answer: B

Rationale: Tea contains oxalates, which can contribute to the formation of calcium oxalate stones; therefore, patients prone to kidney stones should avoid excessive tea consumption.

2. In the hospital, when you need the medical record of a discharged patient for research you will request permission through:

• A. Both statements are true
• B. Both statements are false
• C. The first statement is true; the second is false

Correct answer: A

Rationale: Both statements are true. Poor nutrition can affect tooth development and increase the risk of dental caries in children.

4. Hypertrophic burn scars are caused by:

• A. exaggerated contraction
• B. random layering of collagen
• C. wound ischemia
• D. delayed epithelialization

Correct answer: C

5. The mechanism behind most CKD in patients without diabetes is mediated by:

• A. enzyme systems
• B. immune systems
• C. catabolic systems
• D. hormonal systems

Correct answer: B

Rationale: In non-diabetic patients, CKD is often mediated by immune system responses. Chronic inflammation triggered by immune system dysfunction can contribute to progressive kidney damage. Therefore, the correct answer is 'immune systems.' Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because CKD in non-diabetic patients is primarily associated with immune system abnormalities rather than enzyme, catabolic, or hormonal systems.
