Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
The nurse should understand that in a urinary diversion, one or both of the ureters are surgically implanted elsewhere. This procedure is done for various life-threatening conditions. Incontinence is the inability to control either urinary or bowel elimination. Catheter care means the hygiene measures used to keep meatus and adjacent area of the catheter clean. In order to collect a catheter specimen, the nurse uses a catheter to collect a sample of urine in a sterile environment.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse can obtain an accurate body temperature at the oral site for a client with a nasogastric tube in situ. Oral temperature measurement is contraindicated in a client after an oral surgery. The nurse cannot obtain an accurate body temperature at the oral site for clients who are very young and clients who continue to talk during temperature assessment.
