Question 1 of 5
What diagnostic test should the nurse expect to be ordered first based on the symptoms?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Urinalysis. When a patient presents with symptoms related to urinary issues, such as frequency, urgency, or pain, a urinalysis should be the initial diagnostic test ordered. Urinalysis can provide valuable information about possible urinary tract infections, kidney function, and presence of blood or other abnormalities in the urine. It is a non-invasive, cost-effective, and quick test that can guide further diagnostic and treatment decisions.
Choice A (Complete blood count) is not typically the first test ordered for urinary symptoms unless there are specific indications for it.
Choice C (Abdominal ultrasound) and D (Bladder scan) may be considered after initial evaluation with urinalysis if needed to further investigate specific findings.
