According to the American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Classification System for Renal Injuries, what grade are renal cortical lacerations greater than 1 cm in depth without urinary extravasation? 2. Question: Prostate-Specific Antigen (PSA) levels should be drawn: 3. Question: In a steady state, if creatinine clearance is reduced by 50%, then serum creatinine should increase twofold.

1. Question: Absolute contraindications for performing bedside ultrasound include: 2. Question: What is the main source of B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP) in humans? 3. Question: On ultrasound, fluid, liquid, or water-like substances are considered anechoic. They reflect very few sound waves and allow most of the energy to pass through, resulting in an on-screen image that appears . 4.
