MN551 Unit 5 Mid Term
1. A 60-year-old man has been diagnosed with renal calculi after repeated episodes of
excruciating flank pain in recent weeks. The man states, “I don't know how this could happen to
me, since I'm so careful about eating a healthy diet.” What is the most appropriate response to
the man's statement? (Points : 3)
“Your diet may have played a part in this, but in fact genetics is likely primarily to blame.”
“What you eat can influence your risk of stone formation, but many other factors like
hormones and your metabolism are involved.”
“You likely don't need to change your diet, but now that you have stones in one kidney, you're at
very high risk of growing them in the other kidney.”
“Your diet might be normally healthy, but high intake of normally beneficial minerals like
calcium and magnesium can lead to stones.”
