Which clinical manifestations should the nurse expect to assess for the client diagnosed with a ureteral renal stone?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
Ureteral stones cause severe colicky pain, often with nausea, vomiting, pallor, and diaphoresis due to autonomic response. Flank pain and microscopic hematuria are more typical of renal pelvic stones, gross hematuria is less common, and stones are rarely asymptomatic.
