Answer to Question 1

2. Signs and symptoms of impending urinary tract infection (UTI)

Rationale:
The client with stones may have a UTI when formed stones obstruct urinary flow. These symptoms should be reported as early as possible to the primary care provider. By discharge, the stones should have passed and there would be no need for pain medication. Fluid intake per day should be 2.53.0L. Foods high in purines, such as organ meats, are to be avoided.

Answer to Question 2

1. Restore the client to previous functioning.

Rationale:
Rehabilitation is tertiary prevention and is aimed at restoring the client to the previous level of functioning. Prevention of the progression of symptoms and early detection of disease are secondary preventions. Promoting wellness is considered primary prevention.
