Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Nightly incontinence and nocturia are often resolved by limiting fluid intake 2 hours before bedtime. Setting the alarm clock to wake does not correct the physiological problem, nor does lining the bedding with plastic sheets. Emptying the bladder may help with early nighttime urination but will not affect urine produced throughout the night from late-night fluid intake.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Flank pain and calcium phosphate crystals are associated with renal calculi. An intravenous pyelogram allows the provider to observe pathological problems such as obstruction of the ureter. A mid-stream urinalysis is performed for a routine urinalysis or if an infection is suspected; a urinalysis was already performed, a mid-stream would not be obtained again. A cystoscopy is used to detect bladder tumors and obstruction of the bladder outlet and urethra. A bladder scan measures the amount of urine in the bladder.
