ATI MEDSURG URINARY TRACT DISORDERS
LATEST 2024-2025 EXAM TEST BANK 50
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT DETAILED
ANSWERS WITH RATIONALES

A married female patient has a history of repeated urinary tract infections (UTIs). Which

of the following should the nurse include while assessing this patient?




1. preferred method of birth control

2. employment status

3. height and weight

4. activity status - Answer✔️✔️-Correct Answer: 1



Rationale: Risk factors for urinary tract infections (UTIs) include sexual intercourse and

the use of diaphragm and spermicidal compounds for birth control and pregnancy.

Employment status, height and weight, and activity status do not have a direct

relationship to repeat UTI.

Which of the following methods of bladder emptying would be preferred for an elderly

patient who is prone to developing urinary tract infections (UTIs)?



1. intermittent catheterization

2. indwelling urinary catheterizations

3. Credé maneuver

4. timed intervals for taking patient to bathroom to void - Answer✔️✔️-Correct Answer: 1



Rationale: Intermittent catheterization carries a lower risk of infection than an indwelling

catheter, and is preferred for patients who are unable to empty their bladder by voiding.

The Credé maneuver is a technique used to assist patients with spinal cord injury to

empty the bladder. Timed intervals to take patients to void would not be effective if they

are not able to empty their bladder by voluntary voiding. The urine would remain in the

bladder and be a site for infection to develop.

A patient is diagnosed with chronic pyelonephritis. The nurse realizes that this patient is

prone to developing which of the following?



1. chronic renal failure

2. cystitis

3. acute renal failure

4. renal calculi - Answer✔️✔️-Correct Answer: 1



Rationale: Chronic pyelonephritis involves chronic inflammation and scarring of the

tubules and interstitial tissues of the kidney. It is a common cause of chronic renal

failure. Cystitis may cause acute pyelonephritis and acute renal failure. Renal calculi are

generally caused by dietary intake and not by chronic pyelonephritis.

A patient with an indwelling urinary catheter is demonstrating signs of asymptomatic

bacteriuria. Which of the following would be the best course of action for this patient?



1. Remove the catheter and begin antibiotic therapy.

2. Begin intravenous antibiotic therapy.

3. Begin oral antibiotic therapy for three days.

4. Remove the catheter and monitor for continued signs of bacteriuria. - Answer✔️✔️-

Correct Answer: 1



Rationale: Antibiotics and urinary anti-infectives are not generally recommended to treat

asymptomatic bacteriuria in catheterized patients. The preferred treatment for catheter-

associated urinary tract infections (UTIs) is to remove the indwelling catheter, than

administer a 10 to 14 day course of oral antibiotic therapy to eliminate the infection.

Removing the catheter without the initiation of antibiotic therapy would not solve the

problem. The infection could worsen.

A patient asks the nurse for ways to prevent recurrent urinary tract infections. Which of

the following is an appropriate nursing response?



1. "Avoid douching."

2. "Clean the perineal area from back to front."

3. "Use feminine hygiene sprays."

4. "Wear clean nylon underpants." - Answer✔️✔️-Correct Answer: 1
