Question 1

The healthcare provider prescribes an indwelling urinary catheter for a client with urinary retention.Which intervention,along with strict aseptic technique,will decrease the risk of infection for this procedure?

Accepted Answer

A) Unless contraindicated, the additional step of using an anesthetic lubricating gel promotes comfort and protects fragile urethral tissues from trauma, and therefore reduces risk for a catheter-associated UTI. Irrigating the catheter should not be done because it can introduce infection by allowing bacteria to enter the closed urinary drainage system. Although voiding around the catheter will decrease bladder spasms, it will not help reduce infection. The balloon is not inflated until the catheter is in the bladder, in order to prevent trauma to the urethra and therefore decrease the risk of infection.

Question 2

An adult client is admitted to the hospital with a diagnosis of kidney stones.The healthcare provider prescribes IV fluids,x-rays,blood work,and a Foley catheter for the client.The nurse is caring for the client 3 days after admission and documents morning vital signs of 101°F,heart rate 92,respirations 25,and blood pressure 120/80.The urinary output has decreased,and the urine is cloudy and dark amber.Based on this data,which conclusion by the nurse is the most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

A) The client has developed a urinary tract infection that was not present upon admission. This is a healthcare-associated infection (HAI) and is likely due to poor technique when placing the Foley catheter. There is no evidence of a respiratory infections, renal failure, or the passage of kidney stones.

Question 4

The nurse for a urology clinic is planning an in-service about urinary infections for a group of novice nurses.Which should the nurse include in the presentation?

Accepted Answer

A) Men will usually be prescribed a longer course of therapy to manage a urinary tract infection. They have a longer urethra. When they are infected with an infection to the system, it is typically more complicated than in a woman. Descending infections are less common than ascending infections of the urinary tract. A clean-catch midstream specimen is a reliable means to obtain a urine specimen to check for the presence of infection. Women have a higher rate of urinary tract infection than men.

Question 5

The nurse in an urgent care center assesses an adult client who presents with a fever of 10 1.2°F and complaints of painful urination.What should the nurse ask to elicit further data that indicates cystitis?

Accepted Answer

A) The classic symptoms of cystitis include dysuria or painful urination, urinary frequency and urgency, and bloody urine or hematuria. A 40-year-old client who presents with a fever and painful urination is not experiencing symptoms of menopause. Asking about fever and chills is not specific to suspected cystitis and does not elicit information related to urinary symptoms. Pain from cystitis is typically suprapubic, not upper abdominal.

Question 6

The nurse is caring for a client who is admitted to the unit with tuberculosis (TB).The client is placed in isolation.To protect the caregivers and other clients on the unit,which type of isolation room is most appropriate?

Accepted Answer

A) Patients with airborne infections such as meningococcemia, SARS, or TB are placed in an isolation room with an anteroom and negative pressure airflow. Air flows into the room and is vented in a special manner to prevent the organism from entering the rest of the unit. Positive flow rooms are used for those clients who are immunosuppressed so that microorganisms from the unit are not drawn into the room. Single-door isolation with normal airflow might be used for a client with droplet or wound infection. Single-door rooms are not equipped to have positive or negative airflow.

Question 7

The nurse is caring for a client who is receiving multiple drugs for treatment of tuberculosis.The nurse teaches the client the rationale for the multiple-drug treatment and evaluates learning as effective when the client makes which statement?

Accepted Answer

A) Tuberculosis bacilli are likely to develop resistance to one drug, so multiple drugs must be used. Treatment must be continued long after the client is no longer contagious. There is no indication that the client contracted TB from an immigrant. Multiple drugs are used for all cases of TB.

Question 9

The nurse caring for a homeless client at risk for tuberculosis (TB)will include which symptoms of the disease when educating the client? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

A) Manifestations of tuberculosis often develop insidiously and are initially nonspecific. Fatigue, weight loss, diminished appetite, low-grade afternoon fever, and night sweats are common. A dry cough develops, which later becomes productive of purulent and/or blood-tinged sputum. It is often at this stage that the client first seeks medical attention.

A nurse is caring for a client with tuberculosis (RB)who is taking Rifampin for treatment of the disease.Which nursing interventions for this client? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

Question 11

The nurse is planning care for an older adult client recently diagnosed with tuberculosis (TB).The client lives alone in an apartment and will continue treatment at home.Which nursing diagnosis is a priority for this client?

Accepted Answer

A) The treatment regimen for tuberculosis requires that the client take many medications, maintain nutrition, and be aware of potential side effects. Due to increased age and normal forgetfulness, this client is at risk for ineffective treatment in the home. The client may have a knowledge deficit but the priority is the treatment regimen. Since the client is being treated in the home, there is not much risk for ineffective breathing. The client is at risk for injury because of age, not TB.

Accepted Answer

A) The early manifestations of a urinary infection differ in a senior from those seen in younger adults. Older adult clients will often be asymptomatic until there are changes in the level of consciousness.

Question 13

The nurse is providing discharge teaching for a client diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI).The client is prescribed a 3-day course of oral trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole (TMP-SMZ).Which client statement indicates that teaching has been effective?

Accepted Answer

A) It is essential to validate eradication of infection with a follow-up culture that is negative. Doing Kegel exercises and wearing cotton underwear are both useful in prevention of future urinary tract infections, but they are not the best evaluation of effectiveness of teaching. Citrus juices will not increase acidity of urine and therefore are not recommended when a client has a UTI.

Question 14

The charge nurse for a medical-surgical unit is notified that a client with tuberculosis (TB)is being transported to the unit.Which actions for infection prevention are the most appropriate in this circumstance? Select all that apply.

Accepted Answer

A) Masks and gowns should be worn when caring for clients who do not reliably cover their mouths when coughing. When a client has an airborne disease and must go elsewhere in the hospital, the client must wear a mask. Supplies to prevent transmission of disease should be stocked at the end of the shift so that adequate supplies will be available for the next healthcare provider. Hand hygiene should be performed before and after client care. Clinical staff receive TB testing annually. There is no reason to test all staff members at this time.

Question 15

A preadolescent student asks the school nurse to explain why the student keeps getting urinary tract infections.The school nurse determines that the diagnosis of Deficient Knowledge is appropriate based upon the student's response to which question?

Accepted Answer

A) The most important teaching to provide females is always to wipe the peri-anal/genital area from front to back. E-coli are the most common micro-organisms responsible for urinary tract infections and can easily be dragged into the urethral orifice by wiping from the anus to the urethra after defecation. Females do have a shorter urethra compared with males and are more susceptible to urinary tract infections for this reason. Personal hygiene practices, such as cleansing after a bowel movement, are a priority teaching instruction to include for this client. Urinary tract infections are not associated with families or genetics.
