Practice Question
The nurse cares for a client admitted to the emergency room. What question should the nurse ask the client to assess for signs of a urinary tract infection?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
"Do you experience pain during urination?"
Rationale:
🟢Dysuria (pain or burning on urination) is one of the hallmark symptoms of a urinary tract infection (UTI).
🟢Other common UTI findings include frequency, urgency, suprapubic pain, and cloudy or foul-smelling urine.
🟢Asking about vaginal discharge or dietary changes does not directly assess for a UTI, and kidney stones are a separate condition with different symptoms.
🟢The nurse must focus on urinary symptoms to identify whether the client is showing signs of infection.
🟢Early recognition helps initiate timely treatment and prevents progression to pyelonephritis or sepsis.
