Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
The patient's manifestations indicate a urinary tract infection. A urine culture is conducted to identify the causative organism of a UTI. Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) measures the amount of urea (end product of protein metabolism) in the blood plasma. It does not identify infection. Creatinine clearance is a 24-hour urine test used to identify renal function; it will not identify an infection. Residual urine measures the amount of urine left in the bladder after voiding and does not identify an infection.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1, 2, 4
The major complications following Whipple's procedure are hemorrhage, bile leak, hypovolemic shock, and hepatorenal failure. The nurse should measure blood pressure and heart rate every 2 hours. Urine output should be measured. Turning and repositioning and assisting the patient to a standing position will not help prevent complications from this procedure.
