Answer to Question 1

Answer: C

Intense pain is the hallmark of urinary calculi, or kidney stones, that are passing through the urinary system. The nurse teaches the client to request pain medication at the onset of pain in order to provide faster relief. The client with urinary calculi is able to ambulate and shower independently. Dietary changes will need to be made to prevent further formation of stones, but weight loss is not necessarily a goal with this disease process.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: D

The client with stones may develop a UTI when formed stones obstruct urinary flow. These symptoms should be reported as early as possible to the primary care provider. By discharge, the stones should have passed and there would be no need for pain medication. Fluid intake per day should be 2.5-3.0 L. Foods high in purines, such as organ meats, are to be avoided.
