Which of the following is the most common substance found on analysis of a renal stone?

A. "I will need to drink apple cider vinegar each day."

This statement is incorrect. Drinking apple cider vinegar is not a proven method to prevent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The client does not need to consume apple cider vinegar as a preventive measure for UTIs.
B. “I will need to wipe my perineal area from back to front after urination."

This statement is incorrect and indicates a need for further teaching. Proper hygiene is essential in preventing UTIs, and wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria from the anal area to the urethra, increasing the risk of UTIs. The correct technique is to wipe from front to back after urination to prevent the spread of bacteria.
C. “I need to drink 8 cups of liquid each day."

This statement is correct. Staying well-hydrated by drinking an adequate amount of fluids, such as 8 cups of liquid each day, can help flush out bacteria from the urinary tract and reduce the risk of UTIs. Proper hydration is a good preventive measure.
D. "I will need to empty my bladder regularly and completely.”

This statement is correct. Emptying the bladder regularly and completely helps prevent the accumulation of bacteria in the urinary tract. Incomplete emptying of the bladder can allow bacteria to multiply, increasing the risk of UTIs. Regular and thorough emptying of the bladder is an important preventive measure against UTIs.

A. Apply a moisture barrier ointment to the client's skin
Applying a moisture barrier ointment creates a protective barrier on the skin, preventing prolonged exposure to moisture, which can lead to skin breakdown in individuals with urinary incontinence. Keeping the skin dry and protected is essential in preventing skin irritation and breakdown.

B. Check the client's skin every 8 hr for signs of breakdown - Skin should be assessed more frequently, ideally every 2-4 hours, especially in clients with urinary incontinence, to detect signs of breakdown early.

C. Clean the client's skin and perineum with hot water after each episode of incontinence - Hot water can be harsh on the skin and exacerbate irritation. It's recommended to use mild, warm water and gentle cleansing techniques. Harsh cleaning methods can damage the skin.

D. Request a prescription for the insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter - Indwelling urinary catheters pose an increased risk of infection and other complications. Catheters should only be used when absolutely necessary, and preventive measures should be taken to manage incontinence without catheterization whenever possible.
