D
While applying a condom catheter to a male client with an erection, wait until the erection ends before applying the catheter.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The client is in the acceptance stage of dying, because the client has settled all financial matters for his surviving family members. The client who hopes to live long enough to see his daughter settled in life is in the bargaining stage of dying, trying to bargain for more time. A client in the second stage of dying, which is anger, gets into arguments with the health care personnel; it is an emotional response to feeling victimized. A client who wants to get a second opinion on the diagnostic reports may be in the denial stage of dying.
