Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The nurse needs to use familiar terms to explain to the child what is needed and to gain cooperation. The most positive approach would be to let the child's mother help rather than demanding that he tinkle right now. Using the terms urine sample or void is not appropriate for a 4-year-old.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Gross hematuria causes the urine to appear tea, cola, or even dirty green colored. Cloudy urine is typically a sign of infection. Normal urine ranges from moderately yellow to pale or almost clear. Orange-colored urine can occur because of medication.
