Genitourinary System Diseases Questions
Question 1 of 5
The clinic nurse is preparing a plan of care for a
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because the clinic nurse needs to recognize the role they will have in implementing a behavioral therapy approach for incontinence. This involves assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating the behavioral interventions to help manage the condition effectively. Choice B is incorrect as it only identifies a type of incontinence without addressing the nurse's role in care. Choice C is incorrect as it focuses on medication teaching, which is not related to behavioral therapy. Choice D is incorrect as it specifically mentions a medication, pseudoephedrine sulfate, which is not relevant to implementing a behavioral therapy approach.
Question 2 of 5
A nurse on a busy medical unit provides care for changes in diet many patients who require indwelling urinary catheters at
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because it addresses the importance of assessing for changes in the patient's level of indwelling catheter use. Monitoring catheter use is crucial to prevent complications such as infections and blockages. Assessing for changes can help identify any issues early on and ensure appropriate management. Choice A is incorrect because recent contact history is not directly related to managing indwelling catheters. Choice B is incorrect as it talks about UTI risks but does not address the specific aspect of monitoring catheter use. Choice D is incorrect as it focuses on chronic kidney disease, which is not directly related to managing indwelling catheters.
Question 3 of 5
A patient with renal failure secondary to diabetic
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A because it correctly identifies the patient's condition as "uremic nephropathy," a common complication of renal failure in diabetic patients. Uremic nephropathy refers to the damage to the kidneys caused by the accumulation of waste products in the blood, leading to renal failure. This choice accurately describes the patient's primary diagnosis and the reason for admission. Choice B is incorrect as it does not provide a specific diagnosis or reason for the patient's admission, only mentioning the threatening effect of renal failure without specifying the underlying cause. Choice C and D are incomplete and do not provide any information related to the patient's condition, making them incorrect.
Question 4 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who is going to have to an older adult?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because older adults are at higher risk for dehydration due to decreased thirst sensation. Reminding the patient to drink frequently, even if they don't feel thirsty, helps prevent dehydration. A: Drinking 4 liters of fluid daily may not be suitable for all older adults and can lead to water intoxication. B: Avoiding replacing water with other beverages is important, but it is not the most critical aspect of hydration in older adults. C: Discussing the patient's diagnosis with the family is unrelated to the immediate need for hydration in this scenario.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is preparing to collect an ordered urine sample for urinalysis. The nurse should be aware that this test will include what assessment parameters? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Specific gravity of the patient's urine. Specific gravity measures the concentration of solutes in urine, indicating the kidney's ability to concentrate or dilute urine. B: Testing for the presence of glucose is typically done to assess for diabetes, not a routine urinalysis. C: Microscopic examination for RBCs is mainly done to detect presence of blood in urine, not a routine parameter. D: Microscopic examination for casts is done to assess for kidney disease, not part of a routine urinalysis. Therefore, specific gravity is the key parameter for urine concentration and kidney function, making it the correct choice.
