Correct Answer is ["A","C","E"]

Explanation

A. Dysuria, or painful urination, is a common symptom of a urinary tract infection (UTI) due to irritation of the urinary tract lining by bacteria.
B. While strong-smelling urine can occur with a UTI, it's not specific to UTIs and can have other causes. Ammonia-smelling urine can be indicative of a UTI, especially if accompanied by other symptoms such as dysuria or frequency.
C. Increased frequency of urination can be a symptom of a UTI as the body attempts to flush out the bacteria causing the infection.
D. Amber urine color can result from concentrated urine due to dehydration but is not specific to a UTI.

E. Urinary urgency, or a sudden and compelling need to urinate, can be a symptom of a UTI due to irritation of the bladder lining by bacteria

A. 80-year-old male patient with a history of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response whose cardiac monitor shows a heart rate of 92 B. 66-year-old female patient with a newly inserted permanent pacemaker whose cardiac monitor shows a heart rate of 50 C. 72-year-old male patient with an implantable cardiac defibrillator that delivered a shock 4 hours ago whose cardiac monitor shows normal sinus rhythm and a heart rate of 68 D. 78-year-old male patient with chronic atrial fibrillation who is prescribed metoprolol (Toprol) whose cardiac monitor shows a heart rate of 58.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A. While atrial fibrillation with a rapid ventricular response requires attention, it is not an immediate concern unless associated with symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or hemodynamic instability.
B. A heart rate of 50 in a patient with a newly inserted permanent pacemaker may indicate bradycardia, which could be a sign of pacemaker malfunction or lead dislodgement. This patient requires immediate assessment to rule out complications.
C. While recent implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) discharge warrants evaluation, the patient is currently in normal sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 68, suggesting stability. This patient's assessment can be prioritized after the patient with the pacemaker issue is seen.
D. A heart rate of 58 in a patient with chronic atrial fibrillation on beta-blocker therapy may not be immediately concerning if the patient is asymptomatic and hemodynamically stable. This patient can be assessed after addressing the more urgent pacemaker issue.
