A client scheduled to have a uroflowmetry asks the nurse why the test is being done. The nurse should explain that the test:
 
  1. will determine the presence of bladder tumors.
  2. is used to evaluate urinary retention and incontinence.
  3. can identify types of bladder infections.
  4. can evaluate the need for urethral surgery.

Question 2

When reviewing results of a client's urinalysis, the nurse notes that the specific gravity is 1.050. The nurse is aware that this level:
 
  1. is the result of a contaminated specimen.
  2. could be indicative of diabetes.
  3. is within normal limits.
  4. could be a sign of dehydration.

Answer to Question 1

Answer: 2

1. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It is not used to determine tumors.
2. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It can provide information about bladder structure and function.
3. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It is not used to determine infections.
4. Cystometry, or uroflowmetry, evaluates the motor and sensory function of the bladder, which can contribute to urinary incontinence. It is not used to determine urethral conditions.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4

1. An elevated specific gravity does not occur if a specimen is contaminated.
2. The presence of glucose and ketones indicates diabetes.
3. This is an elevated level.
4. This is an elevated level indicating concentrated urine, which could be secondary to dehydration.
