Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Most bedwetting ceases by the age of 4 or 5. If the parents are concerned enough to bring the problem to your attention, they're interested in suggestions for help. Limiting fluid intake before bedtime or waking the child to void are methods to address the problem. Dismissing their concerns is not therapeutic. Ruling out a urinary tract infection may be appropriate but would have to be correlated with other symptomatology and assessment findings.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
The nurse places the right hand flat over the right costovertebral angle, then thumps the back of the right hand with the ulnar surface of the left fist. Pain or discomfort during and after blunt percussion suggests kidney disease. The client should feel no pain or tenderness with pressure or percussion, but findings must be correlated with other assessment data.
