A urine sample is obtained from the client for a routine urinalysis. Upon reviewing the results of the test, the nurse notes that an expected finding of the urinalysis is:
 
  1. pH 8.0
  2. Specific gravity 1.018
  3. Protein amounts to 12 mg/100 mL
  4. White blood cells (WBCs) 5 to 8 per low-power field casts

Question 2

The client is experiencing urinary retention, and the health care provider is contacted. The nurse anticipates a medication that will be ordered to promote emptying of the bladder is:
 
  1. Oxybutynin chloride (Ditropan)
  2. Bethanechol (Urecholine)
  3. Propantheline (Pro-Banthine)
  4. Nystatin (Mycostatin)

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 2
The normal specific gravity of urine is 1.010 to 1.025. The normal urine pH is 4.6 to 8.0, with an average of 6.0. Protein is not normally found in the urine. The normal value for urine protein is 0, or up to 8 mg/100 mL. The number of WBCs is 0 to 4 per low-power field, and casts should be 0 in a normal urinalysis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 2
Cholinergic drugs, such as bethanechol (Urecholine), increase contraction of the bladder and im-prove emptying. Bethanechol stimulates parasympathetic nerves to increase bladder wall contrac-tion and relax the sphincter. Oxybutynin chloride (Ditropan) is an anticholinergic drug that de-presses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (which normally stimulates the bladder), and thus re-duces incontinence. Propantheline (Pro-Banthine) is an anticholinergic drug that depresses the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (which normally stimulates the bladder), and thus reduces incon-tinence. Nystatin (Mycostatin) is an antifungal agent.
