Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Acute bacterial prostatitis presents with sudden systemic symptoms like fever and chills, often with dysuria. Terminal dribbling, frequency, and incontinence are more typical of BPH or chronic conditions.

The client who is post-thyroidectomy complains of numbness and tingling around the mouth and the tips of the fingers. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Numbness and tingling post-thyroidectomy suggest hypocalcemia due to parathyroid injury. Checking serum calcium and magnesium levels confirms the diagnosis before treatment. Notification, Chvostek’s sign, or calcium administration follow confirmation.
