NURS 6531 FINAL EXAM, PART TWO QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS + RATIONALES 100% GUARANTEED PASS! The daughter of an elderly confused patient reports that her parent is having urinary incontinence several times each day. What will the provider do initially? a. Obtain a urine sample for urinalysis (UA) and possible culture b. Order serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen tests c. Perform a bladder scan to determine distention and retention d. Tell the daughter that this is expected given her mother's age and confusion - ANS: A When incontinence occurs, UA is performed initially to exclude hematuria, pyuria, glucosuria, or proteinuria and possible infection. Serum creatinine and BUN may be performed if renal disease is suspected. Bladder scans may be performed if the UA is normal to evaluate physiologic causes. It is not correct to offer reassurance without ruling out other causes.
