Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
The child may notice painful bladder spasms as long as the catheter is in place after surgical repair of a hypospadias. An anticholinergic medication, which relieves bladders spasms such as oxybutynin (Ditropan), may be prescribed for pain relief. Oxybutynin (Ditropan) does not acidify the urine, stimulate kidney function, or prevent nausea and vomiting.

Answer to Question 2

A, E
Feedback:
Nurses can help the nation achieve the 2020 National Health Goals for renal disease by educating parents to give antibiotics conscientiously for streptococcal throat infections and being active advocates for organ transplant procedures. Restricting fluids, recommending specific foods, and limiting the intake of milk and dairy products are not interventions to support the 2020 National Health Goals for renal disease.
