Answer to Question 1

3. Returns within 10 days for a follow-up urine culture.

Rationale:
It is essential to validate eradication of infection with a follow-up culture that is negative. Citrus juices will not increase acidity of urine and therefore is not recommended when a client has a UTI. Doing Kegel exercises and wearing cotton underwear are both useful in prevention of future urinary tract infections, but they are not the best evaluation of effectiveness of teaching.

Answer to Question 2

A
Digestion is defined as the mechanical and chemical processes that convert nutrients into a physically absorbable state. Absorption is the process by which monosaccharides, fatty acid chains, vitamins, minerals, and water pass through the epithelial membranes in the intestine into the blood or lymph systems.Metabolism is the aggregate of all chemical reactions and other bodily functions as they relate to the distribution of nutrients in the blood after digestion. Glycolysis is the breakdown of glucose by enzymes.
