Question 1 of 5
When the client complains about the bland taste of the food, the nurse appropriately recommends substituting salt with which condiment?

Question 3 of 5
The nurse is examining a 15-year-old female who is complaining of pain, frequency, and urgency when urinating. After asking the parent to leave the room, which question should the nurse ask the client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Sexual activity is a risk factor for UTIs in young females due to urethral irritation. Asking this privately ensures honesty and guides diagnosis/treatment. Menstrual cycle, urine color, and pain relief are secondary.

Question 5 of 5
The elderly client recovering from a prostatectomy has been experiencing stress incontinence. Which independent nursing intervention should the nurse discuss with the client?

Rationale: A bladder drill with timed voiding strengthens bladder control and reduces stress incontinence post-prostatectomy. Voiding every 2 hours is part of it, family assistance reduces independence, and electrical stimulators are not standard.
