A nurse's assessment reveals a patient having frequent voiding and pain when she urinates. Her body temperature is 38°C (100.4°F). The nurse asks whether she has to go to the bathroom at night, and the patient responds, "Yes." When asked how often, the patient replies, "About three times a night." The nurse asks if having to urinate at night is recent or normal for the
patient. The patient explains, "I usually go once a night but that is all." The nurse then asks, "When you feel the need to go, can you reach the toilet in time?" The patient says, "Oh, yes, I can." The nurse asks, "And have you had any leaking of urine?" The patient denies leaking. When asked if she is having any back or abdominal pain, the patient denies discomfort. The nurse then gathers a urine specimen from the patient and inspects its character, noting it is cloudy and foul smelling. Which
of the following nursing diagnoses are indicated by cues in this patient's assessment?
1. Impaired Kidney Function
2. Impaired Urination
3. Urge Incontinence of Urine
