Extract:
Question 1 of 5
Which statements made by a diabetic client at the clinic strongly suggest that the client has a urinary tract infection? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,F
Rationale: Frequent urination, inability to hold urine, burning sensation, and foul-smelling urine are classic symptoms of a urinary tract infection.
Question 2 of 5
Which intervention should the nurse include when preparing a teaching plan for the client with chronic prostatitis?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Warm sitz baths reduce inflammation and pain in chronic prostatitis. Elevating feet is unrelated, tea/coffee are bladder irritants, and stopping antibiotics early risks recurrence.
Question 3 of 5
The client with a TURP who has a continuous irrigation catheter complains of the need to urinate. Which intervention should the nurse implement first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The urge to urinate may indicate a blocked catheter due to clots. Assessing patency ensures proper function and addresses the cause. Explaining the sensation, notifying the surgeon, or giving narcotics are secondary.
Question 4 of 5
When the nurse interviews the client, which symptoms will the client most likely report if a bladder infection has been acquired? Select all that apply.
Correct Answer: C,D,E,F
Rationale: Symptoms of a bladder infection typically include strong-smelling urine, burning on urination, urgency, and frequency, as these reflect irritation and inflammation of the bladder.
Question 5 of 5
The female client diagnosed with bladder cancer who has a cutaneous urinary diversion states, 'Will I be able to have children now?' Which statement is the nurse’s best response?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Bladder cancer itself does not cause sterility, but treatments (e.g., chemotherapy, radiation) may affect fertility. This response is accurate and informative. Reflecting concern, promising fertility, or referring to a chaplain avoids the question.
