Correct Answer is B

Explanation

The nursing diagnosis was "Risk for Deficient Fluid Volume" related to excessive ﬂuid loss, secondary to diarrhea and vomiting. The goal was set that the client's symptoms would be eliminated within 48 hours. The client is being seen after a week and has had no diarrhea or vomiting for the past 5 days, indicating that the problem has been resolved. Therefore, the nurse should document that the problem has been resolved and the goal has been met.

A. The client's urinary output will be increased. B. The client's urine will be a medium-amber color. C. The client's urine will have a strong ammonia odor. D. The client's urinary output will be decreased.

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A diuretic is a medication that increases the production of urine by the kidneys. This can help reduce swelling (edema) by removing excess ﬂuid from the body. If a client is prescribed a diuretic for swelling of the lower extremities, the nurse should teach the client that the medication will increase their urinary output. This means that the client will need to urinate more frequently and may produce more urine than usual. The color and odor of the urine may also change, but these changes are not directly related to the eﬀect of the medication on urinary output.
