Solution
-
True - Urine osmolarity can be estimated by measuring the urine specific gravity. Specific gravity is a measure of the concentration of solutes in the urine, and it can provide an estimate of urine osmolarity.
-
False - In the renal practical class, you will not use renal test strips to test for the presence or absence of K+. Renal test strips can test for many things such as glucose, blood, pH, protein, and specific gravity, but not for potassium (K+).
-
True - Atrial stretch causes the release of ADH (Antidiuretic hormone). This happens when the atria of the heart are stretched due to an increase in blood volume, which signals the body to release ADH to promote water reabsorption in the kidneys and increase blood volume and pressure.
-
True - High blood volume results in reflex tachycardia (Bainbridge reflex). The Bainbridge reflex is a compensatory reflex that increases heart rate in response to an increase in blood volume.
