Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should inform the child that she should feel no discomfort during the test. No fasting is required and no dye is used, so allergies are not a concern. A full bladder is needed for urodynamic studies.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Known risk factors include a recent episode of pharyngitis or other streptococcal infection, age older than 2 years, and male sex.
