Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The kidney-ureter-bladder x-ray examination, commonly referred to as a KUB flat plate of the abdomen, is a good screening test for kidney or bladder stones. The main diagnostic purpose of obtaining a uric acid level is to evaluate the client for gouty arthritis or kidney disease. A cystogram is an x-ray study of the bladder and urethra, used to evaluate the degree of vesicoureteral reflux (backflow of urine into the ureters) and the presence of bladder injury. Renal arteriogram is obtained to determine the presence of a pathologic condition (e.g., a tumor).

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
When inserting a prosthetic eye, the nurse should ask the client to blink to seat it in place after inserting it. The nurse should wet the prosthesis to allow it to slip in easily, lift the upper eyelid and slip the eye up under the top lid, hold the prosthesis while pulling down gently on the lower lid, and slip the lower lid over the edge of the prosthesis. Pressing inward on the bottom of the prosthesis would cause the prosthesis to slip out.
