2 .
A patient with nocturia seeks advice on reducing nighttime urination. What lifestyle modifications and behavioral strategies should the nurse recommend?
3 .
A patient voids 300 mL of urine. After the patient empties their bladder, a bladder scan is performed, noting 600 mL of postvoid residual.
