Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The skill of collecting midstream (clean-voided) urine specimens can be delegated to nursing assistive personnel. The nurse must first determine the timing and frequency of the bladder scan measurement and interprets the measurements obtained. Inserting a straight or an indwelling catheter cannot be delegated. Catheter irrigation or instillation cannot be delegated to nursing assistive personnel.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder; associated symptoms include hematuria, foul-smelling cloudy urine, and urgency/frequency. Dysuria is a common symptom of a lower urinary tract infection (bladder). Flank pain, fever, and chills are all signs of pyelonephritis (upper urinary tract).
