A client with urinary tract alterations has trouble concentrating the urine. The nurse should suspect that the client:
1. has a malfunctioning bladder.
2. might be experiencing low levels of antidiuretic hormone (ADH).
3. might have cancer of the bladder.
4. might have kidney stones.
Answer: 2
1. Urine is concentrated in the renal tubules, not in the bladder.
2. The client with low levels of ADH will have trouble reabsorbing water and concentrating urine.
3. Cancer of the bladder will not affect the concentration of urine.
4. Kidney stones will prevent the flow of urine, not the concentration.
