Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. Intravenous pyelogram: IVP is a specialized X-ray with contrast dye that visualizes the kidneys, ureters, and bladder, helping detect kidney stones, obstructions, or abnormalities. Calcium phosphate crystals suggest nephrolithiasis (kidney stones).

B. Cystoscopy examines the bladder and urethra, but it does not visualize the kidneys or ureters, where stones typically originate.

C. Mid-stream urinalysis alone does not confirm kidney stones, though it may show hematuria, infection, or crystal types.

D. Bladder scan assesses urinary retention or post-void residual volume, not kidney stones.

A. “The medication works by relaxing gastric muscles." B. "The medication relieves nausea by slowing peristalsis." C. “The medication relieves nausea by promoting gastric emptying." D. “The medication works by decreasing gastric acid secretions."

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. “The medication works by relaxing gastric muscles." Metoclopramide stimulates gastric motility rather than relaxing muscles.

B. "The medication relieves nausea by slowing peristalsis." Metoclopramide actually increases peristalsis to help empty the stomach.

C. "The medication relieves nausea by promoting gastric emptying." Metoclopramide is a prokinetic agent that enhances stomach emptying, which helps reduce nausea.

D. "The medication works by decreasing gastric acid secretions." Metoclopramide does not reduce acid secretion; it improves gastric motility.
