Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Cranberry juice is safe for use as a food and for urinary tract health. The recommended dosage is 4 to 8 ounces of juice per day.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Feedback:
An increased urinary pH (alkaline urine) decreases the effectiveness of methenamine. Therefore, to avoid raising the urine pH when taking methenamine, the client should not use antacids containing sodium bicarbonate or sodium carbonate.
