Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Pouring water over the perineum may stimulate voiding. It is easy, noninvasive, and should be tried early on.
2. Incorrect. The oil of peppermint releases vapors that may relax the necessary muscles. It is easy, noninvasive, and should be tried early on.
3. Incorrect. If the woman is anticipating pain from voiding, pain medications may be help-ful. Other nonmedical means could be tried first, but medications still come before inserting a catheter.
4. Correct. Invasive procedures are usually the last to be tried, especially if there are so many simple and easy methods available: water, peppermint vapors, pain pills.

Answer to Question 2

D

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
