Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should document the client's condition as urinary incontinence. Incontinence is the inability to control either urinary or bowel elimination and is abnormal after a person is toilet-trained. Albuminuria is urine containing excessive protein. Dysuria is difficult or uncomfortable voiding.

Answer to Question 2

C
Feedback:
Client education is a priority in the discharge process. This supersedes the importance of eliciting feedback or informing each individual care provider about the client's scheduled discharge. It is not necessary for individuals to pick up a client at the time of discharge.
