Question 1 of 5
The nurse is teaching a health class about UTIs to a appropriate response?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because assessing the patient for further signs and symptoms of UTI is crucial for timely diagnosis and treatment. By evaluating additional symptoms such as frequency, urgency, dysuria, and hematuria, the nurse can confirm the presence of a UTI. This step is essential for appropriate management and preventing complications. Choice A is incorrect because documenting a healthy stomach does not address the assessment and management of UTIs. Choice B is incomplete and does not provide any relevant information about UTIs. Choice D is incorrect as men over age 65 are actually less prone to UTIs compared to women.

Choice C, retention of potassium, is also incorrect as it is a specific outcome of impaired renal function and not the primary focus of monitoring. Choice D, depletion of calcium, is incorrect as impaired renal function is more likely to lead to hypercalcemia rather than hypocalcemia. Therefore, the nurse should prioritize monitoring the accumulation of wastes in a patient with impaired renal function.
