Answer to Question 1

ANS: B, D
Urinalysis properties indicating infection include a foul odor and pH > 8.0. Urine the color of straw, clear yellow, or amber is a normal finding. A trace amount of glucose in the urine is a normal finding. The normal range of specific gravity is 1.003 to 1.029.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, B, C, D, E
Focused assessment of UTI symptoms includes assessing for urinary retention, pain and/or burning with urination, intake and output, GI symptoms, and bleeding with urination. Nocturia is common with OAB syndrome, not a UTI.
