In which areas of the body would a pyelonephritis infection be located?

Choice A rationale

Interstitial cystitis, also known as painful bladder syndrome, primarily causes chronic pain in the bladder and pelvis area.

Choice B rationale

Chronic kidney disease primarily affects the kidneys and does not directly cause urinary symptoms.

Choice C rationale

Benign prostatic hypertrophy, or an enlarged prostate, is a common cause of urinary problems in older men, including difficulty urinating and maintaining a urine stream, and experiencing bouts of incontinence.

Choice D rationale

Urethritis is inflammation of the urethra that causes pain and discomfort during urination, not difficulty maintaining a urine stream or incontinence.

Choice A rationale

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test measures a person’s average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months.

Choice B rationale

Fasting blood glucose test measures current blood glucose level and does not provide information about the average levels of blood glucose over the past 2-3 months.

Choice C rationale

Hemoglobin and hematocrit tests are used to diagnose anemia and other blood disorders, not to measure blood glucose levels.

Choice D rationale

Capillary blood glucose test measures the current blood glucose level, not the average levels over the past 2-3 months.
