Question 1.

The chronic kidney disease (CKD) of 53-year-old Perry Kat has progressed to the advanced stages. Perry, upon examination at the clinic today, reports that she has been experiencing increased weariness and shortness of breath, especially when engaging in routine tasks. She seems exhausted, and she has many bruises on her arms that "seem to come from nowhere," but she does remember recently knocking against some furniture.

- Determine what condition (associated with CKD) Perry's symptoms suggest,

- and then Demonstrate your understanding of pathophysiology by explaining how this condition is related to CKD.

Question 2.

Thomas Johnson, 41, was found to have renal calculi. He went to the ED complaining of severe pain and said it "moves" from his back to his groin; he was given a powerful painkiller (Morphine) at the time. Now that he's on the ward, Thomas says his agony is worse. PRN analgesics such as 5mg Oxycodone and 1g Paracetamol are administered by the nurse. Thomas, unsure of what's wrong with him, wants to know why he's experiencing such severe moving pain.

Inform Thomas of the physiological processes that are creating his discomfort. To demonstrate your comprehension to the marker and ensure that the patient understands your explanation, it is important to describe the pathophysiology of this ailment.
