selected E by PoE.
A) Most patients on kidney dialysis have high levels of potassium in their blood.
- Not supported by passage, kidney dialysis only helps to find hyperkalemia present in Ppl. who have lost 80% of kidney function.
(B) Kidney failure is likely to cause severely erratic pulse and tissue swelling.
- The word kidney failure is not mentioned in passsage
(C) The kidneys are at least partially responsible for maintaining adequate levels of calcium chloride in the blood.
-Not supported by passage. CaCl is only used during emergency and is a corrective treatment.
(D) Patients who have lost 50% of their kidney function are not likely to develop hyperkalemia. -
Not supported by passage.
(E) Proper kidney function most likely involves the removal of excess potassium from the bloodstream.
- Excess potassium causes pain during hyperkalemia, which occurs when kidney looses 80% of its function. hence a proper kidney function should remove potassium.
