What is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, usually due to a streptococcal or Staphylococcus infection?

Choice A rationale

Pyelonephritis is an infection that occurs in the kidneys.

Choice B rationale

Ureters are not typically the site of a pyelonephritis infection.

Choice C rationale

The urethra is not typically the site of a pyelonephritis infection.

Choice D rationale

Choice A rationale

An exaggerated stress response in a client with type 1 diabetes would not cause higher blood sugar readings through the release of insulin. In fact, stress tends to increase blood sugar levels.

Choice B rationale

The release of glucocorticoids during stress does not typically cause lower blood sugar readings. Glucocorticoids tend to raise blood sugar levels.

Choice C rationale

An exaggerated stress response can cause higher blood sugar readings through the release of glucocorticoids. Stress hormones like glucocorticoids interfere with insulin’s ability to move glucose from the blood into the cells, leading to an increase in blood sugar levels.

Choice D rationale

An exaggerated stress response would not cause lower blood sugar readings through the release of insulin. Stress typically raises, not lowers, blood sugar levels.
