The nurse realizes that which client is at risk for difficulty in urinary elimination?

1. A client who had bladder cancer and now has a newly created ileal conduit
2. A 25-year-old female client with low self-esteem
3. An 80-year-old male reporting frequent urination at night
4. The client with hypertension who takes a diuretic every day for blood pressure

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale 1: The client who had bladder cancer and now has an ileal conduit doesn’t have kidney damage, only the bladder removed. Continued urine production through the ileal conduit will need to be observed and assessed frequently by the staff.
Rationale 2: The 25-year-old experiencing low self-esteem has a psychological problem and will need therapy to find the root of the problem.
Rationale 3: The client who is 80 years old with frequent urination at night is having problems with his prostate. Older male adults experience urinary retention due to prostate enlargement causing an alteration in urinary elimination.
Rationale 4: The client with high blood pressure takes her medication to remove excess fluid from the body, and as long as urine elimination increases, there should be no problems.
