A 24-year-old female client comes to the ambulatory care center in moderate distress with a probable diagnosis of acute cystitis.Which symptom should the nurse expect the client to report during the assessment?

Choice A rationale

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) provides essential nutrients intravenously, allowing the bowel to rest and heal, which is important in the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Choice B rationale

While reducing inflammation and controlling symptoms are important goals in IBD management, TPN is primarily used to provide nutrition and allow the bowel to rest.

Choice C rationale

Stimulating the bowel is not the purpose of TPN. TPN is used to give the digestive tract a break while ensuring the patient receives necessary nutrients.

Choice D rationale

Preventing malnutrition and promoting weight gain are secondary benefits of TPN, but the primary rationale is to provide nutrients while allowing the bowel to rest and heal.

Choice A rationale

Irrigating the catheter without checking for kinks first may not address the underlying issue and can potentially cause harm.

Choice B rationale

Adjusting the rate of the bladder irrigant may not resolve the issue if the catheter tubing is kinked.

Choice C rationale

Notifying the provider without first checking for kinks may delay the resolution of the problem.

Choice D rationale

Checking the tubing for kinks is the first action to ensure there is no obstruction preventing the flow of urine. .
