Answer to Question 1

A
Although nurses work within the medical and psychosocial domains, nursing's phenomena of concern are the patterns of human response and not disease processes. The medical model focuses on the disease and curative processes and the diagnostic response.

Answer to Question 2

3. Have you experienced painful urination or blood in your urine?

Rationale:
The classic symptoms of cystitis include dysuria or painful urination, urinary frequency and urgency, and bloody urine or hematuria. Pain from cystitis is typically suprapubic, not upper abdominal. A 40-year-old client who presents with a fever and urinary frequency 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.
