A client tells the nurse about the need to get up several times throughout the night to void. The nurse suspects the client is experiencing nocturia due to:
 
  1. Decrease in bladder tone
  2. Decrease in blood supply
  3. Decrease in number of nephrons
  4. Decrease in cardiac output

Question 2

When assessing a client's urinary elimination, the nurse identifies what factor as an influence?
 
  1. Age
  2. Body image
  3. Knowledge
  4. Socioeconomic status

Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Nocturia is voiding frequently at night. An increased intake of fluid causes some increase in the frequency of voiding. Conditions such as UTI, stress, and pregnancy can cause frequent voiding of small quantities of urine. Total fluid intake and output may be normal.
Rationale 2: A decrease in blood supply causes an increase in urine concentration.
Rationale 3: A decrease in the number of nephrons decreases the filtration rate.
Rationale 4: A decrease in cardiac output decreases peripheral circulation, which would decrease urinary output day or night.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1
Rationale 1: Development factors such as how old the client is influence urinary elimination.
Rationale 2: Body image does not influence urinary elimination.
Rationale 3: Knowledge does not influence urinary elimination.
Rationale 4: Socioeconomic status does not influence urinary elimination.
