Which of the following is a sign of cystitis?

Choice a reason: Chest congestion is not a sign of cystitis. Chest congestion is typically associated with respiratory conditions, such as bronchitis or pneumonia, and involves the buildup of mucus in the lungs. Cystitis affects the urinary bladder, not the respiratory system.
Choice b reason: Fever can sometimes accompany cystitis, especially if the infection is severe or has spread to the kidneys (pyelonephritis). However, it is not the most common symptom of cystitis. The primary signs and symptoms of cystitis are related to the urinary tract.
Choice c reason: Abdominal pain can be a symptom of cystitis, particularly pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic region. This pain is due to inflammation and irritation of the bladder lining. While it is a common symptom, it is not the definitive sign of cystitis.
Choice d reason: Increased urinary frequency is a hallmark sign of cystitis. Patients with cystitis often feel the need to urinate more frequently than usual, even if the bladder is not full. This symptom is due to the irritation and inflammation of the bladder, leading to a persistent urge to urinate. Other symptoms that typically accompany this include a burning sensation during urination and urgency.

Choice a reason: CAPD is not typically the treatment of choice for a client who has a history of abdominal trauma. Abdominal trauma can cause complications and may affect the peritoneal cavity's ability to act as a dialyzing membrane, making peritoneal dialysis less suitable. Clients with a history of abdominal issues may be better suited for other forms of dialysis, such as hemodialysis.
Choice b reason: The dialyzing solution in CAPD does not infuse using an infusion pump. Instead, it is infused into the peritoneal cavity by gravity through a catheter. The client manually controls the infusion process by hanging the dialysate bag at an appropriate height to allow gravity to facilitate the flow of the solution into the peritoneal cavity.
Choice c reason: The dialysis is continuous 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. CAPD involves multiple exchanges of dialysate throughout the day, with each dwell time typically lasting 4-6 hours. The process is continuous, providing ongoing filtration and waste removal, which helps manage the symptoms and complications of chronic kidney disease.
Choice d reason: The dialyzing solution is not suspended at the level of the umbilicus during the infusion. Instead, the dialysate bag is typically hung higher than the client's abdomen to use gravity for infusion. The height of the bag helps control the flow rate of the solution into the peritoneal cavity. Proper technique is essential to ensure effective dialysis and prevent complications.
