Genitourinary System Diseases Questions
Question 1 of 5
The nurse is caring for a patient who has undergone
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: Choice C is correct because it presents the only complete and coherent statement. The other options are incomplete or irrelevant, providing incorrect instructions for postoperative care. Emptying a drainage bag, irrigating a catheter, or assessing stoma color are not directly related to caring for a patient after urinary diversion surgery. Therefore, choice C is the most appropriate answer based on the context of postoperative care.
Question 2 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 3 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 4 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.
Question 5 of 5
The nurse is performing a genital examination on a male patient and notices urethral drainage. When collecting urethral discharge for microscopic examination and culture, the nurse should:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because gently compressing the glans between the thumb and forefinger can help express the urethral discharge for collection. This method minimizes contamination and ensures a proper sample for microscopic examination and culture. A: Asking the patient to urinate into a cup would not capture the discharge. B: Semen is not relevant for urethral discharge testing. C: Inserting a cotton-tipped applicator into the urethra may cause trauma and is not recommended for collecting urethral discharge.
