Renal System ATI Exam Questions and Answers

Renal System ATI Exam Questions and Answers Week 1 1. A nurse in a prenatal clinic is caring for a client who is at 7 weeks of gestation. The client reports urinary frequency and asks if this will continue until delivery. Which of the following responses should the nurse make? a. "It's a minor inconvenience, which you should ignore." i. This is a nontherapeutic response that disregards the client’s concern and offers unwarranted reassurance. b. "In most cases it only lasts until the 12th week, but it will continue if you have poor bladder tone." i. The presence or absence of bladder tone has no bearing on urinary frequency during pregnancy. c. "There is no way to predict how long it will last in each individual client." i. This is a nontherapeutic response that does not provide appropriate information to the client. d. "It occurs during the first trimester and near the end of the pregnancy." i. Urinary frequency is due to increased bladder sensitivity during the first trimester and recurs near the end of the pregnancy as the enlarging uterus places pressure on the bladder.
