1. Question
Phenazopyridine is prescribed for a client with a urinary tract infection. The nurse evaluates that the medication is effective based on which observation?
CorrectAnswer: Option 2 is the correct answer.

It will cause the client to have reddish-orange discoloration of urine but this is a side effect of the medication, not the desired effect.
Test-Taking Strategy: Note the strategic word, effective. Focus on the subject, effectiveness of phenazopyridine. Recalling the classification of this medication and that it is a urinary analgesic will direct you to the correct option.IncorrectAnswer: Option 2 is the correct answer.
