A client who has been taking phenazopyridine (Pyridium) for symptoms of urethritis and cystitis comes to the clinic because her urine is reddish-orange. Which question should the practical nurse ask to determine if the medication has been effective? A) How much water have you been drinking each day? B) Does the urine color stain your toilet bowl or undergarments? C) Have you had any relief from urinary pain, burning, or urgency? D) Did your urine appear cloudy or have a foul odor on voiding? Correct Answer-C) Have you had any relief from urinary pain, burning, or urgency? Feedback: Phenazopyridine, an over-the-counter urinary analgesic, acts on the mucosa of the urinary tract to relieve urinary pain, burning, itching, or urgency (C) associated with urethritis and cystitis. Although determining if the client is forcing fluids (A), experiencing staining from Pyridium's side effect (B), or having signs of a urinary infection (D) are worthwhile assessments, the therapeutic response of Pyridium is related to urinary discomforts only.
