The nurse is obtaining a history on a client stating nocturia. When evaluating the client's evening behaviors, which may be the cause of the problem?
The client takes a furosemide with the evening medications.
The client uses the Credé's maneuver when urinating at bedtime.
The client takes 8 oz of water after dinner with her evening medications.
The client urinates for the evening while getting ready for bed.
The Correct Answer is A
The client takes furosemide with the evening medications. Nocturia, or the need to wake up at night to urinate, can be caused by various factors. In this case, the client's medication, furosemide, is a diuretic that can increase urine output and cause nocturia. The other choices do not explain the cause of the client's nocturia.
