Answer to Question 1

4
Tolazamide is a first generation sulfonylurea, and can cause a high incidence of hypoglycemia. This medication is used sparingly in the United States today because there are second-generation sulfonylureas that are more effective. Tolazamide can be used if the client is sensitive to penicillin, shellfish, or strawberries.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 4
Interventions to reduce the onset of urinary tract infections include drinking cranberry juice and 6 to 8 glasses of water each day. The client should be instructed to urinate before and after intercourse. Women should wipe front to back when completing perineal care because of the close proximity of the urethra to the vagina and anus. Taking showers instead of baths helps prevent bacteria from entering the urethra while bathing. The client should be instructed to take the entire course of the prescribed medication and not just until the symptoms subside.
