Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

C
Common symptoms of a UTI include fever and foul-smelling odor. The Nurse will need to contact the physician immediately. The physician will order a catheterization so that a urine sample may be obtained. Although the nurse realizes the need for catheterization, it is an invasive procedure, and an invasive procedure requires a physician's order. Obtaining a specimen of urine in a pouch does not result in an accurate finding because of the likely risk of contamination by microorganisms. Some mucus in the urine is expected.
