مريض بحصوة في الحالب يُعالج في البيت حتى تنزل. أي تعليمات صحيحة؟

A client with a ureteric stone is managed at home until it passes. Which instructions are correct?

1. Drink less water to reduce the pain of passing urine
2. Strain urine, keep the stone for analysis and drink enough
3. Stay on strict bed rest until the stone passes
4. Throw the stone away if it passes since it is no longer needed

Answer: B) Strain urine, keep the stone for analysis and drink enough. Stone analysis identifies its type and guides prevention; adequate water helps passage. Return immediately with fever, anuria or uncontrolled pain.
