Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Foamy or frothy urine may indicate protein; proteinuria is associated with kidney disease, toxemia of pregnancy (also found in leukemia), lupus erythematosus, and cardiac disease. Foamy or frothy urine does not indicate gestational diabetes, infection, or dehydration.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Adequate fluid intake will help prevent constipation, which is a common adverse effect of urinary retention. Dry mouth can be relieved by chewing gum. Fresh fruits will help prevent constipation. Caution patients not to drive until they have adjusted to blurred vision.
