Answers and Rationales
  1. A. Strain his urine . Iridium seeds can be expelled during urination, so the client should be taught to strain his urine and report to the doctor if any of the seeds are expelled. Increasing fluids, reporting urinary frequency, and avoiding prolonged sitting are not necessary
  2. A. true 
  3. D. grade 4 
  4.  B. false 
  5. A. true 
  6. B. Intravesical administration. Medications administered intravesically are instilled into the bladder. Intraventricular administration involves the ventricles of the brain. Intravascular administration involves blood vessels. Intrathecal administration involves the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
  7. A. grade 2 
  8. D. Provide cleansing enemas and laxatives as ordered 
  9. C. drugs that inhibit contractility and promote urine storage 
  10. B. Transistional cell carcinoma 
  11. A. yes 
  12. B. 2nd
  13. C. grade 3 
  14. D. nephrotoxicity 
  15. B. drugs that inhibit contractility and promote urine storage 
  16. C. grade 2 
  17. B. The development of a vesicovaginal fistula. A vesicovaginal fistula is a genital fistula that occurs between the bladder and vagina. The fistula is an abnormal opening between these two body parts and, if this occurs, the client may experience drainage of urine through the vagina.
  18. A. complete resolution of abnormal serum tumor markers, B. location of tumor 
  19. C. grade 4 
  20. C. a type of malignancy that arises from the urothelial lining of the urinary tract
  21. A. stage and grade verification 
  22. B. frequency and urgency, C. dysuria, D. flank pain
  23. B. drugs that increase bladder outlet resistance 
  24. A. alpha-adrenergics blockers 
  25. A. true 
  26. A. grade 3 
  27. A. drugs that increase bladder outlet resistance 
  28. D. drugs that increase bladder outlet resistance
  29. B. Admit the client into a private room. The client who has a radiation implant is placed in a private room and has a limited number of visitors. This reduces the exposure of others to the radiation.
  30. A. grade 1 
  31. A. grade 1 
  32. B. 4 times greater
  33. A. painless hematuria 
  34. B. false 
  35. B. 4 
  36. A. 3% 
  37. D. “Mr. Pablo, you appear anxious to me. How are you feeling about tomorrow’s surgery?”  The client is showing signs of anxiety reaction to a stressful event. Recognizing the client’s anxiety conveys acceptance of his behavior and will allow for verbalization of feelings and concerns.
  38. A. drugs that inhibit contractility and promote urine storage
  39. B. The pouch faceplate doesn’t fit the stoma. If the pouch faceplate doesn’t fit the stoma properly, the skin around the stoma will be exposed to continuous urine flow from the stoma, causing excoriation and red, weeping, and painful skin. A lubricant shouldn’t be used because it would prevent the pouch from adhering to the skin. When properly applied, a skin barrier prevents skin excoriation. Stoma dilation isn’t performed with an ileal conduit, although it may be done with a colostomy if ordered.
  40. C. drugs that simulate detrusor contractility and promote bladder emptying 
  41. A. antispasmodics
  42. C. It interferes with DNA replication and RNA transcription.Thiotepa interferes with DNA replication and RNA transcription. It doesn’t destroy the cell membrane.
  43. B. false
  44. A. true
