Answer to Question 1

B
Do not reapply the ice pack to red or bluish areas; continual use of the ice pack makes ischemia worse. When filling an ice pack, fill the bag two-thirds full with small ice chips. The bag is easier to mold over a body part when it is not full. However, in this case, do not reapply the ice pack.

Answer to Question 2

C
After the patient has initiated a urine stream, pass the urine specimen container into the stream and collect 90 to 120 mL of urine. A sterile specimen container is used. Pour antiseptic solution over cotton balls. A cotton ball or gauze is used to cleanse the perineum.
