Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Older adults may present with atypical symptoms of UTI, such as confusion or altered mental status, rather than the typical symptoms of dysuria and frequency. Abdominal discomfort may also be poorly localized in this population.

Answer: B and D 
 While hematuria and flank pain may be present in a UTI, they are less common than dysuria, frequency, urgency, and suprapubic pain. Pyuria (presence of white blood cells in the urine) is also a common clinical manifestation of a UTI. Therefore, choices B and D are both appropriate.
