A nurse on the urology unit is assisting with a continuing education session to nurses on the management of care of the client with benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH). To promote an interprofessional treatment approach related to the psychosocial impact the disease has on the client, which of the following health care professionals is the most important to include in the client's plan of care?

A.While broth can provide fluids and some electrolytes, it is often high in sodium and may not be balanced for a child with diarrhea. High sodium content can exacerbate dehydration and does not adequately replace the lost potassium.

B.Apple juice contains high levels of sugar and may worsen diarrhea by drawing water into the intestines. Additionally, the fructose in apple juice can be difficult to absorb and may lead to increased gastrointestinal discomfort.

C.Cherry gelatin provides fluids but contains sugar and artificial coloring, which are not ideal for rehydration. It does not have the necessary electrolytes that are lost during diarrhea.

D.Pedialyte is specifically formulated to replace fluids and electrolytes lost during episodes of diarrhea and vomiting. It helps prevent dehydration by providing an appropriate balance of electrolytes and fluids that are easily absorbed by the body.

A. White blood cells (WBC) of 10:A WBC count of 10 is higher than the typical reference range (usually 0–5 WBCs per high-power field). An elevated WBC count suggests infection or inflammation, and this should be reported for further assessment.

B. Occasional casts:Occasional casts in the urine can be normal, especially hyaline casts, which may appear after exercise or mild dehydration. However, a high number of casts, or specific types like red or white cell casts, may indicate renal disease and would require follow-up.

C. pH of 5.0:A urine pH of 5.0 is within the normal acidic range (typically 4.5 to 8.0) and does not require reporting unless there are other abnormal findings or specific concerns about acidosis or alkalosis.

D. Dark amber color. Dark amber urine can indicate dehydration but is not an unusual finding by itself. Hydration can typically correct this, so it does not need immediate reporting unless accompanied by other concerning symptoms (e.g., jaundice, which might suggest bilirubinuria).
