Questions: A nurse is teaching a client about diuretic therapy. Which of the following should the nurse include in the teaching? Creatinine testing measures electrolyte imbalance and renal capacity when the drug is active. Cyanocobalamin testing measures blood and volume status, and final capacity when the drug is active. Cystometric testing measures urine speed and volume, and final capacity when the drug is active. Cystometric testing measures bladder capacity, pressure, and final capacity when the urge to urinate begins.

The answer is the fourth one: Cystometric testing measures bladder capacity, pressure, and final capacity when the urge to urinate begins.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Creatinine testing measures electrolyte imbalance and renal capacity when the drug is active.

    • Incorrect. Creatinine testing is primarily used to assess kidney function and not directly related to measuring electrolyte imbalance or renal capacity in the context of diuretic therapy.
  2. Cyanocobalamin testing measures blood and volume status, and final capacity when the drug is active.

    • Incorrect. Cyanocobalamin is a form of vitamin B12, and testing for it is related to vitamin B12 levels, not blood and volume status or diuretic therapy.
  3. Cystometric testing measures urine speed and volume, and final capacity when the drug is active.

    • Incorrect. Cystometric testing is not used to measure urine speed and volume in the context of diuretic therapy.
  4. Cystometric testing measures bladder capacity, pressure, and final capacity when the urge to urinate begins.

    • Correct. Cystometric testing is a diagnostic procedure that evaluates bladder function by measuring bladder capacity, pressure, and the point at which the urge to urinate begins.

In summary, the correct teaching point for diuretic therapy related to the options provided is about cystometric testing, which measures bladder capacity, pressure, and the urge to urinate.
