Answer to Question 1

B
B. Urine remains clear and dilute, without foul odor.
A and C. Signs and symptoms of UTI are a change in urinary elimination such as frequency or nocturia; pain in back or on urination (dysuria); changes in urine including odor, blood, or sediment in urine and color changes to dark yellow or pink.
D. Cloudy urine and urine with a strong odor may indicate UTI.

Answer to Question 2

A, B
The nurse should recognize that specimen collection may cause anxiety, embarrassment, and/or discomfort. Cultural considerations are important when collecting specimens and performing diagnostic procedures. Culture and beliefs may affect a patient's response and willingness to participate in specimen collection. Use of a patient's room number is not an acceptable identifier, and the nurse should follow standard precautions when collecting specimens of blood or other body fluids.
