Answer to Question 1

A
The amount of fluid used to irrigate the bladder and catheter should be subtracted from the total output to determine an accurate urinary output. (1725 mL  950 mL = 775 mL.)
950 mL is not the correct calculation of the client's urinary output.
1725 mL is not the correct calculation of the client's urinary output.
2675 mL is not the correct calculation of the client's urinary output.

Answer to Question 2

D
Most cancer survivors (69) are over the age of 60 (CCS, 2007). Health care professionals often wrongly attribute the symptoms of cancer or the symptoms from the side effects of treatment to aging. This often leads to late diagnosis or a failure to provide aggressive and effective treatment of symptoms.
While the older adult population may have a problem with adequate health care coverage, it is not the primary cause of delayed cancer diagnosis in this population.
While symptoms may be masked by the effects of aging, it is not the primary cause of delayed cancer diagnosis in this population.
While older adult clients can be reluctant to seek help for early symptoms, it is not the primary cause of delayed cancer diagnosis in this population.
