Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 5
Excessive fluid intake before bed (especially coffee or alcohol), renal disease, the aging process, prostate enlargement, poorly controlled diabetes, and diuretic medication therapy scheduled late in the day can cause nocturia. If taken appropriately, his medications are not likely a cause.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
Clients with lower UTIs have pain or burning during urination (dysuria) as urine flows over in-flamed tissues. Fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and malaise develop as the infection worsens. An irritated bladder (cystitis) causes a frequent and urgent sensation of the need to void. Irritation to bladder and urethral mucosa results in blood-tinged urine (hematuria). The urine appears concen-trated and cloudy because of the presence of white blood cells (WBCs) or bacteria. If infection spreads to the upper urinary tract (kidneyspyelonephrit is, a serious renal condition), flank pain, tenderness, fever, and chills are common.
