Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The most common need for urine testing is the test for ketones if a client's blood glucose level is consistently high. Because only clients with type 1 diabetes are susceptible to diabetic ketoacidosis, these clients learn to test their urine for ketones if their blood glucose readings exceed 240 mg/dL.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
A cholecystogram (gallbladder series) may be ordered to show the outline of the gallbladder and any existing gallstones. Before a cholecystogram, the client must prepare by eating a fat-free supper the night before the x-ray study, taking a radiopaque dye by mouth, eating nothing for the next 12 hours (after taking the radiopaque dye), stopping smoking and chewing gum, which cause premature emptying of the dye from the gallbladder, and administering an enema in the morning, if ordered.
