Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Conditions that require active medical treatment, such as pressure ulcers, may warrant a move to skilled nursing facility. The death of a spouse, involvement of the VNA or use of anticoagulants would not normally justify this move.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The term pyuria refers to the presence of pus in the urine. Hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine, glycosuria is the presence of glucose in the urine, and ketonuria indicates that the urine contains ketones.
