Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback:
The nurse should place the penis in the bag and apply the bag to the pubis and scrotum, sealing it from the top to the bottom. The child should be positioned on his back with the legs apart and knees bent. The penis can be cleansed with plain water and a washcloth and the bag can be covered with a diaper or underpants.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should assure clients that ambulatory surgery poses less risk for infection or adverse reactions to anesthesia than does inpatient surgery; ambulatory surgery reduces the overall risk for postoperative complications.

Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
