Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Renal colic is acute, severe flank pain on the affected side. It develops when a stone obstructs the ureter and causes ureteral spasm. Calculi in the bladder, renal pelvis, or urethra would not cause flank pain or colic.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
The nurse should suggest measures to maintain the integrity of perineal tissues, including avoiding douching. The patient should be instructed to cleanse the perineal area from front to back after voiding and defecating, avoid feminine hygiene sprays, and wear cotton briefs.
