Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale 1: Allowing the patient privacy does not ensure safety.
Rationale 2: The warm, moist heat and warm environment of the sitz bath could cause the patient to faint. A call bell should be placed within reach, and the patient should be checked on frequently to maintain safety.
Rationale 3: Warm or cool sitz baths are recommended to assist in perineal healing and reduction of discomfort.
Rationale 4: Not checking on the patient until after the sitz bath does not ensure safety.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale 1: Temporary suspension of urine output is a symptom from the pyelonephritis.
Rationale 2: Nausea and vomiting are symptoms from the pyelonephritis.
Rationale 3: The right side is almost always involved if the woman is pregnant because the large bulk of intestines to the left pushes the uterus to the right.
Rationale 4: A colicky large intestine is an incorrect response.
