The nurse is obtaining a history on a client stating nocturia. When evaluating the client's evening behaviors, which may be the cause of the problem?

The client takes a furosemide with the evening medications.

The client uses the Credé's maneuver when urinating at bedtime.

The client takes 8 oz of water after dinner with her evening medications.

The client urinates for the evening while getting ready for bed.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

The client takes furosemide with the evening medications. Nocturia, or the need to wake up at night to urinate, can be caused by various factors. In this case, the client's medication, furosemide, is a diuretic that can increase urine output and cause nocturia. The other choices do not explain the cause of the client's nocturia.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Hyperkalemia. Confusion, abdominal cramping, racing heart rate, and numbness of the extremities are symptoms associated with hyperkalemia, a condition where the potassium level in the blood is too high.

Hypocalcemia, choice B, is characterized by muscle spasms, numbness, and tingling around the mouth and fingertips.

Elevated urea levels, choice C, may be associated with decreased urine output, fatigue, and shortness of breath.

Elevated white blood cells, choice D, may indicate an infection.

A. Hearing loss. B. Nystagmus. C. Vertigo. D. Tinnitus. E. Loss of vision.

Correct Answer is ["A","C","D"]

Explanation

Meniere's disease is a disorder of the inner ear characterized by episodes of vertigo, hearing loss, tinnitus, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear. Nystagmus is not a common symptom of Meniere's disease. Nystagmus is a rhythmic oscillation of the eyes and may be present in other conditions such as vestibular disorders, drug toxicity, or brainstem lesions.

Choice B, nystagmus, is incorrect because although nystagmus can occur in other vestibular disorders, it is not a common symptom of Meniere's disease.

Choice E, loss of vision, is incorrect because Meniere's disease affects the inner ear and does not typically cause vision loss.
