Please read the clinical scenario, and then answer the question that follow to become familiar with the traditional NCLEX question format.
While working in the emergency room, you meet a young couple, Brittany and Colby. They are currently on their honeymoon, and Brittany is not feeling well. She reports burning upon urination, and a low-grade fever. They assumed she had contracted a urinary tract infection, and had been treating it with cranberry juice for 2 days, following the advice they had received from Brittany’s mom. However, symptoms have not improved. They are concerned because she now has the frequent urge to urinate, and she is developing pain at her bladder. Her low-grade fever persists.
