Answer to Question 1

C
The best scientific evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies, usually found in peer-reviewed scientific journals. A good textbook incorporates current evidence into the practice guidelines and procedures it describes. However, a textbook relies on the scientific literature, and sometimes information on a particular topic is outdated by the time a book is published. Peer-reviewed material is better than online information or recent popular magazines.

Answer to Question 2

D, C, B, A, E, F
Positioning permits visualization of the perineal structures. Washing reduces microorganisms. The catheterization kit contains materials necessary to insert the catheter. Apply sterile gloves to prevent infection, drape the perineum, and clean urethra with antiseptic solution to prevent infection.
