Question

a nurse is reviewing the medical record of an older adult male client. the nurse should identify that which of the following findings places the client at risk for developing a uti? the client has a history of a left - sided stroke. the client is currently taking metoprolol. the client has prostate disease. the client admits to drinking six alcoholic beverages each day.

Explanation:

Prostate disease in older - adult males can cause urinary retention due to prostate enlargement, increasing the risk of urinary - tract infections (UTIs) as stagnant urine provides a favorable environment for bacterial growth. A history of left - sided stroke, taking metoprolol, and high alcohol intake are not directly related to an increased UTI risk in the same way.

Answer:

The client has prostate disease.
