A client who has low back pain reports that they are unable to void. The nurse notices a distended bladder on assessment. Which of the following is the likely cause of this client's low back pain?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A distended bladder from urinary retention causes low back pain. Stress fractures, nerve root pain, and renal cancer are less likely causes.

A nurse is caring for a client immediately following a hemodialysis treatment. For which of the following manifestations will the nurse administer a PRN dose of phenytoin?
