Urgency

Frequency

Dysuria

Prostate size

Bladder infection

Answer and Explanation

Correct Answer : A,B,C

A. Urgency: Antimuscarinic medications reduce bladder contractions, thereby decreasing the sudden urge to urinate.

B. Frequency: These medications help by increasing bladder capacity and reducing the need to urinate frequently.

C. Dysuria: Some antimuscarinics can alleviate bladder irritation, which may improve dysuria (painful urination) in certain conditions.

D. Prostate size: Antimuscarinics do not reduce prostate size. Medications like 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (e.g., finasteride) are used for this purpose.

E. Bladder infection: Antimuscarinics do not treat infections. Antibiotics are required to treat bladder infections (UTIs).

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. A female client who has a body mass index of 24: A BMI of 18.5–24.9 is considered normal weight. Since the BMI is 24, this client is in the normal weight range.

B. A male client who has a body mass index of 29: A BMI of 25–29.9 is classified as overweight. Since the BMI is 29, this client is overweight but not obese.

C. A male client who has a waist circumference of 96.52 cm (38 in): The at-risk waist circumference for males is ≥40 inches (102 cm). Since this client’s waist circumference is 38 inches, he is not classified as overweight based on this parameter.

D. A female client who has a waist circumference of 101.6 cm (40 in): The at-risk waist circumference for females is ≥35 inches (88 cm), but waist circumference alone does not classify someone as overweight. BMI is the primary measure used.

A. How to open and close the pouch B. How to determine whether the ostomy is healing appropriately C. How to irrigate the colostomy D. How to change the pouch E. How to empty the pouch

Correct Answer is ["A","B","D","E"]

Explanation

A. How to open and close the pouch: The patient must be able to manage their pouch independently. This skill helps them maintain hygiene and prevent leakage.

B. How to determine whether the ostomy is healing appropriately: Patients should be educated on signs of infection, irritation, or necrosis around the stoma.

C. How to irrigate the colostomy: Not taught initially because irrigation is only necessary for some patients and is usually introduced later. It’s mainly for descending or sigmoid colostomies, not all types.

D. How to change the pouch: A crucial skill to prevent leakage and skin irritation.

E. How to empty the pouch: Patients should know when and how to empty it to maintain cleanliness and avoid leaks.
