Answer to Question 1

Answer: D

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.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

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.
