Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 4, 5
The nurse should ensure the client has adequate hydration. The nurse should monitor the client's vital signs, fluid balance, electrolytes, and creatinine level. Urinary antiseptics should be provided as prescribed. A urinary catheter is discouraged because of the risk of urinary tract infection. Monitoring of the hemoglobin level is not necessary with this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

2, 3, 4, 5
Tub baths should be avoided for female patients. The client should not be instructed to limit fluids. Discharge teaching should include frequent voiding, good perineal hygiene, voiding after intercourse, and taking showers instead of tub baths.
