. The nurse is caring for a client who appears anxious and fearful. The client has recently been seen for a urinary tract infection and reports their urine has turned an orange-red color. What is the best response by the nurse?

"This may mean that your liver is failing and you need immediate medical attention."

"This is an expected finding for someone with a diet high in red meat.”

“This is a symptom that your urinary tract infection is worsening. I will notify the provider.”

“This is an expected finding if you are taking the over the counter medication, Phenazopyridine.”

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. "This may mean that your liver is failing and you need immediate medical attention." This statement is misleading; orange-red urine is not typically a sign of liver failure, especially in the context of a urinary tract infection.

B. "This is an expected finding for someone with a diet high in red meat." While diet can affect urine color, red meat is not commonly associated with orange-red urine; this is not a relevant response given the client's context.

C. “This is a symptom that your urinary tract infection is worsening. I will notify the provider.” While it is important to monitor urinary tract infections, orange-red urine is more likely related to the use of phenazopyridine rather than a worsening infection.

D. “This is an expected finding if you are taking the over-the-counter medication, Phenazopyridine.” Phenazopyridine is known to cause orange-red discoloration of urine, and this statement provides reassurance to the client regarding their symptoms.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. The patient is hypertensive. Hypertension is not a prerequisite for starting BPH medication; in fact, some BPH medications can lower blood pressure.

B. The patient has had a prostate examination, including measurement of the PSA level. A prostate examination and PSA measurement are important for diagnosing BPH and ruling out prostate cancer before starting treatment.

C. The patient is still sexually active. Sexual activity status is not a determining factor for administering BPH medication.

D. The patient has not had a vasectomy. Vasectomy status does not influence the treatment of BPH.

A. Respiratory distress, syndrome occurs in babies with frequent colds. B. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs in premature and low-birth-weight babies. C. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs in babies with genetic allergies. D. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs in babies stressed during the pregnancy.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs in babies with frequent colds. This statement is inaccurate; respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) is not associated with frequent colds.

B. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs in premature and low-birth-weight babies. This statement accurately describes RDS, as it is primarily seen in premature infants due to insufficient surfactant production.

C. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs in babies with genetic allergies. RDS is not directly related to genetic allergies; it is a condition primarily linked to prematurity and lung maturity.

D. Respiratory distress syndrome occurs in babies stressed during the pregnancy. While stress during pregnancy can affect outcomes, RDS is specifically associated with lung development in premature infants rather than stress alone.
