Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 5,2,4,3,1

The nurse places the sterile drape before applying gloves because the nurse would contaminate sterile gloves in the process of placing the drape. After the drape is in place, the nurse dons sterile gloves and organizes the supplies in the catheter kit. The nurse tests the balloon of the indwelling catheter (if recommended by the manufacturer), and then cleans the meatus in preparation for insertion.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 1

Sterile gloves are not required when performing catheter care. All of the other actions are appropriate for the nurse to perform during this procedure.
