The nurse is reviewing the reabsorption of glucose and amino acids with a patient newly diagnosed with kidney disease. Which patient comment indicates that teaching has been effective?
1. "The nutrients move from blood to filtrate to blood, then back to the blood."
2. "The nutrients move from filtrate to blood, then back to the filtrate."
3. "The nutrients remain in the kidneys at all times."
4. "The nutrients are large molecules and remain in the blood at all times."
Correct Answer: 1
Reabsorption may be active or passive. Substances move from the blood into the filtrate, then are reclaimed into the blood. The other comments indicate incorrect comprehension about kidney reabsorption.
