Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,4,5

The nurse would document the appearance of the penis if any abnormal findings were noted, such as penile swelling or discoloration; amount of urine flow; any client complaints or concerns; and time of application. The penis should be inspected 30 minutes after applying the condom catheter and every 4 hours thereafter.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4

It is essential that the client and support persons be taught how to care for the ostomy prior to discharge. In most cases, there is no need to increase or limit fluid intake or maintain the client NPO.
