in which of the following laboratory values?
1. Urine specific gravity.
2. Urine pH.
3. Blood urea nitrogen.

1. “I need to do Kegel exercises to help strengthen the muscles that control the urine.”

3. “I should not do sit-ups because that will increase my abdominal pressure.”
4. “I should avoid things that make me sneeze or cough.”

2. A three-way catheter.
3. A straight catheter.
4. A coudé catheter.
4. A nurse receives a report on a patient who just returned from surgery following a transurethral prostatectomy.

2. A three-way catheter.
3. A condom catheter.
4. A coudé catheter.
5. A nurse is caring for a female patient who has a new order for the insertion of a Foley catheter. The
nurse prepares a standard catheter kit and then notes that the patient has a latex allergy. The nurse should
1. Notify the physician that the catheter cannot be placed.
2. Obtain a silicone catheter for the patient.
3. Inform the patient that a catheter cannot be used because of her allergies.

4. Fill the balloon with 5 mL sterile normal saline.
7. A nurse is caring for a patient who has an order for a 24-hour urine specimen collection. The patient asks,
“Why do I have to collect my urine for 24 hours?” The nurse’s best response would be:
1. “A 24-hour urine test is often done to evaluate how your kidneys function.”
2. “Is there some reason that you don’t want this test?”
3. “This test is done to determine whether you have a urinary tract infection.”
4. “I can call your doctor if you’d like to speak with her.”

2. Obtain a bedside commode to collect the urine.
3. Obtain supplies to insert an indwelling catheter.
4. Instruct the patient to void.
9. While working a night shift and caring for a patient with a 24-hour urine collection that was started at 3:00

2. Document the amount as normal output.
3. Take the patient’s temperature.
4. Evaluate the patient’s blood pressure.

patient uses the bedside commode, the nurse should

2. Pour the urine into a graduated container to obtain a measurement.
3. Document that the patient has voided but not try to determine a specific amount.
4. Provide a marked specimen pan to be used the next time the patient uses the
bedside commode.
13. A nurse is caring for a patient who is being evaluated for urinary retention. Approximately 10 minutes after
the patient voids, the nurse uses the bladder scan and determines that the patient has 80 mL urine remaining
in the bladder. The best statement by the nurse is:
1. “Your bladder is still pretty full. Do you think you can void again?”
2. “You have a large amount of residual or leftover urine in your bladder, so I will need
to notify the doctor.”
3. “You must have really great kidneys to make so much urine so quickly.”
4. “There is still some urine in your bladder, but it is within the limit of what is
considered normal.”

will need to perform self-catheterization every 4 hours at home. Which of the following statements will the
nurse include in the discharge teaching?

2. “You will need to use a new suprapubic catheter each time you catheterize yourself.”
3. “The straight catheter will be inserted through the urethra and into the bladder to
allow urine to be emptied.”
, 4. “This is somewhat difficult. Maybe the doctor will order an indwelling catheter for
you instead.”
15. A nurse is caring for a patient who has a three-way catheter with continuous bladder irrigation after a
transurethral prostatectomy. The nurse notices a decrease in output in the urinary drainage bag. The
nurse should first
1. Increase the flow rate to flush out clots that may be blocking the catheter.
