Practice Question

A nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has urolithiasis. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include in the plan?

Answer Choices:

A. Maintain the client on bed rest

B. Provide the client a high protein diet

C. Encourage the client to drink 3 L of fluids per day ✓ Correct Answer

D. Tell the client to expect a decrease in urine output

Correct Answer:

Encourage the client to drink 3 L of fluids per day

Rationale:

or a client with urolithiasis (urinary stones), increasing fluid intake to at least 3 L/day helps flush the urinary system, promotes stone passage, and prevents new stone formation by diluting the urine.

Incorrect Options:

Option 1: Bed rest is not recommended; activity helps move the stone through the urinary tract unless contraindicated by pain or medical condition.

Option 2: A high-protein diet can increase the risk of certain types of stones (e.g., uric acid stones), so it's generally not advised.

Option 4: A decrease in urine output may indicate obstruction or worsening condition and is not expected—it should be reported immediately.
