Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
The urine appears dark amber in color due to dehydration. A reddish-brown urine sample is indicative of the presence of blood. Infection and stasis would cause the urine to appear cloudy.

Answer to Question 2

A
Feedback:
Admission to a health care facility may temporarily deprive a person of his or her identity. Because clients are required to wear hospital gowns that tend to look alike, the client may be asserting his individual identity. Based on the client's history, it is less likely that he is preparing to leave AMA, is delirious or is unaware of hospital norms.
