Question 4 of 5
A client with ureterolithiasis is preparing for discharge after a ureteroscopic removal. Which instructions should the nurse include in the client's postoperative discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should instruct the client post-ureteroscopic removal to monitor urinary stream for decreased output. Ureterolithiasis involves kidney stones, and ureteroscopy can cause swelling or obstruction, risking urine flow blockage. Decreased output may signal complications like stricture or clot retention, requiring prompt reporting. Spirometry is for respiratory issues, activity restriction isn't routine unless specified, and pink-tinged hematuria is expected initially, making monitoring output critical for detecting post-op issues.
Question 5 of 5
A client who takes daily supplemental iron for deficiency anemia reports feeling increasingly fatigued. Which laboratory value should the nurse review?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: For a client on iron supplements reporting increased fatigue, the nurse should review the complete blood count (CBC). Fatigue suggests anemia persists or worsens, and CBC (hemoglobin, hematocrit, RBCs) assesses iron therapy efficacy. Electrolytes, platelets, and liver enzymes aren't directly tied to anemia or iron response, but CBC reveals if hemoglobin is low (ongoing anemia) or high (overtreatment), guiding adjustments and ruling out other causes like bleeding.
