The nurse is caring for a patient who exhibits slow movements associated with
Parkinson's disease. Which type of urinary incontinence would the nurse assess for
in this patient? - SOLUTION=Functional incontinence
*Functional incontinence is a loss of continence with a cause outside the urinary
tract, usually related to functional deficits such as altered mobility and manual
dexterity. Parkinson's disease alters a patient's mobility, which can result in
functional incontinence.
The nurse is preparing to administer erythropoietin to a patient who presents with a
deficiency. The nurse knows that the patient needs this medication because of
dysfunction in which organ? - SOLUTION=Kidney
*kidneys produce erythropoietin. Patients with chronic renal failure require
exogenous erythropoietin supplementation for red blood cell production.
Which bone-related change would the nurse expect to see in a patient with chronic
renal failure? - SOLUTION=Demineralization
*a patient with chronic renal failure cannot make sufficient amounts of active
vitamin D. As a result these patients are at risk of demineralization of the bone
because of impaired calcium absorption in the intestine.
Which measurement is the normal range for the length of an adult female urethra?
- SOLUTION=4 cm

Which hormone stimulates red blood cell production? -
SOLUTION=Erythropoietin
Which hormonal release does the renin-angiotensin system stimulate? -
SOLUTION=Aldosterone
What hormonal change in the urinary system might a pregnant woman experience?
- SOLUTION=Increased urinary production
*because of hormonal changes and pressure of a growing fetus on the bladder.
The nurse is educating a woman about measures to reduce the risk of urinary tract
infections while having an indwelling urinary catheter with a leg bag. Which
instruction would the nurse include in the teaching? - SOLUTION=Wash hands
frequently
*when trying to prevent infection, think hand washing, hand washing, and hand
washing.
The nurse is reviewing the medical record of a patient admitted with cystitis.
Which condition is associated with this diagnosis? - SOLUTION=Irritation of the
bladder
Patients with which type of urinary incontinence can be at risk of sever elevation
of blood pressure and pulse rate and diaphoresis? - SOLUTION=Reflex urinary
incontinence

Which statement by a student nurse indicates effective learning about urinary
diversions? - SOLUTION=An orthotopic neobladder allows the patient to void
through the urethra.
* an orthotopic neobladder is a type of continent urinary diversion in which an ileal
pouch is used to replace the bladder; it keeps the pouch in the same anatomical
position occupied by the bladder before removal. This allows the patient to void
through the urethra using the Valsalva technique.
Which disorder is caused by increased secretion of antidiuretic hormone (ADH)? -
SOLUTION=Oliguria
what places patients at risk for pressure ulcers/impaired skin integrity -
SOLUTION=pressure intensity, pressure duration, tissue tolerance, impaired
sensory perception, impaired mobility, alteration in LOC, shear, friction, moisture
layers of the skin - SOLUTION=epidermis, dermis (collagen)
body's defenses against infection - SOLUTION=normal flora, inflammatory
response, immune response
comprehensive wound assessment - SOLUTION=-ongoing assessment from time
of injury, wound care, any condition changes, and on scheduled basis
-Important to include cause of injury, history of wound, treatment, description,
response to therapy
-Braden scale: assesses risk for pressure/skin injury every shift
, 4|Page
Braden Scale - SOLUTION=assesses risk for developing pressure ulcers; includes
patient's sensory perception, moisture, activity, mobility, nutrition, friction and
shear; the lower the number the higher the risk
>9= very high risk
10-12= high risk
13-14= moderate risk
15-18= mild risk
19-23= generally not at risk
type 1 ulcers - SOLUTION=skin is intact but may be red or pink and warm to the
touch; no blanching
-for POC, there may be no noticeable blanching but skin color may vary
type 2 ulcers - SOLUTION=partial-thickness loss of dermis; shallow broken skin;
red-pink wound bed
type 3 ulcers - SOLUTION=full-thickness tissue loss with visible fat
(subcutaneous layer); pale-yellow color; may include slough but does not obstruct
view of depth of injury
type 4 ulcers - SOLUTION=full-thickness tissue loss with exposed bone, muscle,
or tendon. possible tunneling and undermining
unstageable pressure ulcer - SOLUTION=base of ulcer covered by slough and/or
eschar in the wound bed so the depth is unknown; exudate;
