nurse provide to the patient?
• Bathe daily and keep the perineal region clean.
• Avoid voiding immediately after sexual intercourse.
• Drink liberal amounts of fluids.
• Void at least every 6 to 8 hours.
; the patient is encouraged to drink liberal amounts of fluids to increase urine production which flushes
the bacteria from the urinary tract.
• A 45-year-old comes to the clinic complaining of occasional urinary incontinence when he
sneezes. What should the nurse do about the type of incontinence?
• Stress incontinence
• Reflex incontinence
• Overflow incontinence
• Functional incontinence
• A nurse is caring for a female patient whose urinary retention has not responded
to conservative treatment. What the nurse should encourage what practice?
Assuming a supine position for self-catheterization. Using a clean technique at
home to catheterize
• Inserting the catheter 1 to 2 inches into the urethra
• Self-catheterizing every 2 hours at home
• A 55-year-old patient is scheduled to undergo ileal conduit surgery. what is the
most plausible nursing diagnosis that the nurse should address?
• Impaired mobility is related to limitations posed
by the ileal conduit. Deficient knowledge related to
the care of the ileal conduit
• Risk for deficient fluid volume related to urinary diversion
• Risk for autonomic dysreflexia related to disruption of the sacral plexus
• The nurse on a urology unit is working with a patient who has been diagnosed with
oxalate renal calculi. what nutritional guidelines should the nurse provide?
• Restrict protein intake as ordered.
• Increase intake of potassium-rich foods.
• Follow a low-calcium diet.
• Encourage intake of food containing oxalates.
• The nurse is caring for a patient who underwent percutaneous lithotripsy earlier in
the day. What should the nurse give the patient?
• Limit oral fluid intake for 1 to 2 days.
• Report the presence of fine, sand-like particles through the
nephrostomy tube. Notify the physician about cloudy or foul-
smelling urine.
. Report any pink-tinged urine within 24 hours after the procedure.
• A female patient's most recent urinalysis results are suggestive of bacteriuria.
According to the nurses, data analysis should be informed by what principle?
• Most UTIs in female patients are caused by viruses and do not cause obvious
symptoms.
• A diagnosis of bacteriuria requires three consecutive positive results.
• Urine contains varying levels of healthy bacterial flora.
• Urine samples are frequently contaminated by bacteria normally
present in the urethral area.
• The nurse and urologist have both been unsuccessful in catheterizing a patient with a
, prostatic obstruction and a full bladder. What does the nurse anticipate the physician
using to drain the patient's bladder?
• Insertion of a suprapubic catheter
• Scheduling the patient immediately for a prostatectomy
• Application of warm compresses to the perineum to assist with relaxation
• Medication administration to relax the bladder muscles and reattempting
• The nurse is caring for a patient with an indwelling urinary catheter. what nursing
action helps prevent infection in a patient with an indwelling catheter?
• Vigorously clean the meatus area daily.
• Apply powder to the perineal area twice daily.
• Empty the drainage bag at least every 8 hours.
• Irrigate the catheter every 8 hours with normal saline.
• A patient has been admitted to the postsurgical unit following the creation of an ileal
conduit. What should the nurse measure to determine the size of the appliance
needed?
• The circumference of the stoma
• The narrowest
part of the stoma
The widest part of
the stoma
. Half the width of the stoma
• patient being treated in the hospital has been experiencing occasional urinary retention.
What should the nurse take to encourage a patient who is having difficulty voiding?
• Use a slipper bedpan.
• Apply a cold compress to the perineum.
• Have the patient lie in
a supine position. Provide
privacy for the patient.
• The nurse is working with a patient who has been experiencing episodes of urinary
retention. What finding would suggest that the patient is experiencing retention?
• The patient's suprapubic region is dull on percussion.
• The patient is uncharacteristically drowsy.
• The patient claims to void large amounts of urine 2 to 3 times daily.
• The patient takes a beta-adrenergic blocker for the treatment of hypertension.
• patient with kidney stones is scheduled for extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy
(ESWL). What should the nurse include in the ppatient'spost-procedure care?
• Strain the patient's urine following the procedure.
• Administer a bolus of 500 mL of normal saline following the procedure.
• Monitor the patient for fluid overload following the procedure.
• Insert a urinary catheter for 24 to 48 hours after the procedure.
• The nurse is caring for a patient who has undergone the creation of a urinary diversion.
Forty-eight hours postoperatively, the nurse's assessment reveals that the stoma is a dark
purplish color. What is the nurse's best appropriate response?
• Document the presence of a healthy stoma.
• Assess the patient for further signs and symptoms of infection.
• Inform the primary care provider that the vascular supply may be compromised.
• An older adult has experienced a new onset of urinary incontinence and family members
identify this problem as being unprecedented. the nurse should prioritize which
