Practice Question
The client's urine is cloudy, amber, and has an unpleasant odor. The nurse should make the inference that the client may have:
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
a urinary tract infection.
Rationale:
⁕ Cloudy, amber-colored urine with a foul odor is a classic sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI).
⁕ UTIs are common in hospitalized or catheterized clients and often present with dysuria, urgency, frequency, or fever.
⁕ Ketones in urine suggest diabetic ketoacidosis and produce a fruity smell, not a foul odor.
⁕ Nocturia refers to nighttime urination but is not linked to cloudiness or odor.
⁕ Functional incontinence is a mobility or cognition-related issue, not infectious in nature.
