A client with urinary tract alterations has trouble concentrating the urine. The nurse should suspect that the client:
 
  1. has a malfunctioning bladder.
  2. might be experiencing low levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
  3. might have cancer of the bladder.
  4. might have kidney stones.

Question 2

A client with a urinary disorder of the ureters asks the nurse to explain how the renal system is structured. The nurse explains that the ureters are attached to the kidney in an area known as the:
 
  1. renal medulla.
  2. renal pyramids.
  3. hilum.
  4. renal fascia.
