Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, B, E, F
The nurse should ensure that the client receives adequate fluid intake and has adequate lighting to ambulate safely to the bathroom at night, encourage the client to use the toilet every 2 hours, provide thorough perineal care after each voiding, and assess for urinary retention and urinary tract infections. The nurse should not delegate any teaching to the UAP, including bladder training instructions. The UAP may participate in bladder training activities, including encouraging and assisting the client to the bathroom at specific times.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, D
The pH, specific gravity, and glucose are all within normal ranges. The other values are abnormal.
