What symptom of cystitis should a therapist be aware of while planning treatment for a patient?

Hypertension
Epigastric pain
Acute lumbosacral pain
Urgent and frequent urination

The correct answer is: Urgent and frequent urination

Urgent and frequent urination is a hallmark symptom of cystitis, which is an inflammation of the bladder, often due to infection. This symptom is particularly significant for therapists to be aware of, as it can directly impact a patient's comfort and willingness to engage in treatment. Knowing that a patient has these urinary symptoms will help a therapist tailor their approach, possibly incorporating strategies to minimize discomfort and ensuring frequent access to restroom facilities during treatment sessions. The other symptoms like hypertension, epigastric pain, and acute lumbosacral pain, while they might be relevant in different contexts or conditions, are not as directly linked to cystitis. Thus, urgent and frequent urination is the most pertinent symptom for a therapist to monitor and consider in their treatment planning.
