If after teaching a patient with a history of renal calculi, the nurse assesses the patient’s understanding. The statement made by the patient that indicates a correct understanding of the teaching is:  a. "I should drink at least 3 liters of fluid every day."

Renal calculi which is also known as kidney stone occurs due to the accumulation or build up of calcium  which in turn form a stone in the kidney.

Symptoms of Kidney stone includes:

  • Nausea
  • Appearance of blood in the urine
  • Pain in the back
  • Lower abdominal pain
  • Fever etc

Treatment of kidney stone include:

  • Pain killer
  • Drinking enough water or fluid
  • Antibiotic etc

Excessive consumption of calcium without hydration or intake of enough water  tend to as well contribute to build up  of kidney stone due to the filtration of  calcium into the urine because if the patient consume enough water the calcium will be pass out without any problem.

The nurse should persuade the patient to drink enough fluids so as to avoid or prevent the build up of kidney stone.

Inconclusion if after teaching a patient with a history of renal calculi, the nurse assesses the patient’s understanding. The statement made by the patient that indicates a correct understanding of the teaching is:  a. "I should drink at least 3 liters of fluid every day."
