Answer to Question 1

ANS: 4
Unlike the other treatments, successful organ transplantation offers the client the potential for restoration of normal kidney function.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Make fluids such as cranberry juice available as part of the client's fluid intake. Cranberry juice discourages bacterial adherence to the bladder wall. The remaining options either have less im-pact on a daily basis or are more related to early detection rather than prevention.
