Genitourinary NCLEX Questions Questions
Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which intervention is most important for the nurse to implement for the client diagnosed with rule-out renal calculi?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Straining urine to capture stones or sediment is critical for diagnosing renal calculi, as it confirms the presence and type of stones. Neurological status, lab monitoring, and dietary recall are secondary.
Question 2 of 5
The nurse is caring for clients on a renal surgery unit. After the afternoon report, which client should the nurse assess first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: No drainage in the ileal conduit bag post-surgery suggests obstruction or complications, risking urine backup and renal damage. This is critical. Lost glasses, serous drainage, and surgical education are less urgent.
Question 3 of 5
The nurse is planning the care of a postoperative client with an ileal conduit. Which intervention should be included in the plan of care?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Meticulous skin care and proper pouching prevent skin breakdown and infection around the ileal conduit stoma. Sterile bags are unnecessary, weekly pH monitoring is not standard, and daily stoma assessment is part of skin care.
Question 4 of 5
The client with a continent urinary diversion is being discharged. Which discharge instructions should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: A continent urinary diversion (e.g., Indiana pouch) requires periodic catheterization of the stoma. Demonstrating this ensures the client can manage it. Pouching and drainage bags are for incontinent diversions, and a 99°F fever is not concerning.
Question 5 of 5
The client is in the intensive care department (ICD) after a motor-vehicle accident in which the client lost an estimated three (3) units of blood. Which action by the nurse could prevent the client from developing acute renal failure?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Significant blood loss risks prerenal ARF due to hypoperfusion. Maintaining BP above 100/60 ensures adequate renal perfusion. Vital signs, dressing checks, and urine output monitoring are supportive but less preventive.
