Answer to Question 1

ANS: A, D
When a patient experiences new onset incontinence, the first step is assessment. Assisting the pa-tient to the bathroom has many beneficial aspects to it and it provides a private setting where the patient is in the most normal physiological position to urinate. Placing an indwelling catheter is not a solution to urinary incontinence. Limiting fluids is not indicated in this patient. There is no indication that this patient is having bladder spasms.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Limiting daytime napping to 30 minutes or less is a good sleep hygiene practice. Exercise should be completed at least 4 hours before retiring while a bedtime snack is acceptable if the food is light and easily digested. Computer-focused activities are not generally encouraged as a part of a bedtime routine.
