A homeless client arrives at a free health clinic with reports of blood in the urine. Which action should the nurse take next?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The nurse would further assess to determine the cause of the bleeding and then develop a plan of care. With insufficient data, the nurse cannot make a referral at this time. Determining the cause of bleeding is a priority over finding shelter at this time. Most probable cause of blood in the urine is a urinary tract infection, which can be treated at the clinic.
