Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
The condom catheter fits over the penis and reduces skin contact with urine by diverting the urine to a collection bag. It is not invasive, and can be applied as a nursing order. The Robinson catheter is a specific type of straight catheter that requires a health care provider's order. A Foley catheter is an indwelling catheter that requires a health care provider's order. Use of both the indwelling catheter and the straight catheter are invasive procedures.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

Dextrose concentrations greater than 10 must be given centrally because of the risk of phlebitis at higher concentrations. Lipids may be given peripherally as well as centrally. Clients requiring long-term parenteral nutrition generally receive it centrally. Parenteral nutrition can meet caloric needs, but should be started gradually and increased slowly to prevent hyperglycemia.
