Acute Kidney Failure

Acute Kidney Failure ( 49 Questions)

A nurse is assessing a client at risk for postrenal acute renal failure. What condition should the nurse prioritize in the client's assessment?


Correct Answer: C

A) Incorrect. Hypertension is a risk factor for prerenal acute renal failure, not postrenal.

B) Incorrect. While a UTI can cause kidney injury, it is not directly related to postrenal acute renal failure.

C) Correct. An enlarged prostate, also known as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), can cause obstruction of the urinary tract and lead to postrenal acute renal failure. The obstruction prevents urine flow, causing pressure buildup in the kidneys and impairing kidney function.

D) Incorrect. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for intrinsic acute renal failure, not postrenal.
