Extract:
Question 1 of 5
The client with a history of substance abuse presents to the emergency department complaining of right flank pain, and the urinalysis indicates microscopic blood. Which intervention should the nurse implement?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Flank pain with hematuria suggests a renal issue (e.g., stones); pain medication is the priority.
Question 2 of 5
