Which amount of urine production should the nurse evaluate as adequate output for a typical adult client?

5 to 10 mL/hour.

12 to 15 mL/hour.

16 to 25 mL/hour.

30 to 40 mL/hour.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

30 to 40 mL/hour. This is the normal range of urine output for a typical adult client. The urine output should be at least 0.5 mL/kg/hour for adults.

Assuming an average weight of 70 kg, this would be 35 mL/hour.

Choice A is wrong because 5 to 10 mL/hour is too low and indicates oliguria, which is a sign of inadequate kidney function or dehydration.

Choice B is wrong because 12 to 15 mL/hour is also below the normal range and may indicate oliguria.

Choice C is wrong because 16 to 25 mL/hour is slightly below the normal range and may indicate reduced kidney perfusion or fluid intake.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Palms, soles and nails.

Melanoma is a type of skin cancer that can develop in any color skin, including dark or black skin.

However, melanoma on dark skin is not related to sun exposure and can start in places that get little sun. That includes the palms of your hands, soles of your feet, nails, and inside your mouth, anal, and genital areas.

Choice A is wrong because eyes, ears, lips, and scalp are not common areas for melanoma in people of color.

Choice C is wrong because head, neck and trunk are more likely to be affected by sun exposure and other types of skin cancer than melanoma in people of color.

Choice D is wrong because lower legs and back are also more exposed to sun and other types of skin cancer than melanoma in people of color.

A. “I will take my water pill in the morning so I don’t have to go to the bathroom so much at night.”. B. “I will limit how much I drink to reduce my chance of having an accident.”. C. “I plan to use the commode next to my bed instead of trying to make it to the bathroom.”. D. “I want to use the commode in my room instead of wearing adult briefs.”.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

Limiting fluid intake can lead to dehydration and concentrated urine, which can irritate the bladder and increase the risk of infection. Older adults should drink about 2 liters of fluid per day unless they have a medical condition that requires fluid restriction.

Choice A is correct because taking diuretics in the morning can reduce nocturia and improve sleep quality.

Choice C is correct because using a commode next to the bed can prevent falls and injuries that may occur when trying to reach the bathroom in a hurry.

Choice D is correct because using a commode in the room can preserve dignity and comfort, and reduce skin breakdown and odor that may result from wearing adult briefs.
