Answer to Question 1

A
Protein in the urine usually indicates possible renal disease, muscle exertion, or dehydration. Positive glucose indicates diabetes. Positive bilirubin indicates liver disease with obstruction or damage. Positive bacteria indicates urinary infection.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
Older adults commonly misunderstand their need for dental care once they have dental appliances. The nurse should correct this misconception and encourage the patient to have routine dental examinations. The dental appliance may or may not need to be replaced. The patient should see the dentist regularly whether or not the dentures are worn every day. If the patient visits the dentist regularly, a problem with the gums could be avoided.
