Question 3 of 5
Given the client's symptoms and the progression of her condition, the nurse suspects that the client may be experiencing complications related to preterm labor and a possible urinary tract infection (UTI). For each characteristic in the table, select whether it is more likely to be associated with preterm labor, a urinary tract infection (UTI), or both. Each column must have at least one response option selected. Candidates can select as many options as apply for each column.
| Complication | Preterm Labor | Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) |
|---|---|---|
| Frequent urination | ||
| Low back pain | ||
| Temperature of 38.3°C (101°F) | ||
| Strong urge to push | ||
| Contractions every 1.5 minutes | ||
| Pain level of 8 on a scale of 0 to 10 |
Correct Answer: A: UTI, B: Both, C: UTI, D: Preterm Labor, E: Preterm Labor, F: Both
Rationale: Frequent urination is more likely associated with a UTI due to irritation of the urinary tract. Low back pain can be associated with both preterm labor (due to uterine contractions) and UTI (due to kidney involvement). A temperature of 38.3°C (101°F) is more likely associated with a UTI, as fever is a common symptom of infection. A strong urge to push is indicative of preterm labor as it suggests advanced labor progression. Contractions every 1.5 minutes are a clear sign of preterm labor. A pain level of 8 can be associated with both conditions due to severe contractions in labor or significant infection-related discomfort in UTI.
