Answer to Question 1

B
Urinary incontinence is uncontrolled urinary elimination; if the urine has prolonged contact with the skin, skin breakdown can occur. An indwelling Foley catheter is a solution for urine retention. Blood clots and foul-smelling discharge are often signs of infection.

Answer to Question 2

C
The normal PaCO2 is 35 to 45 mm Hg; the client's PaCO2 is normal at 40 mm Hg.
The normal SaO2 is 98 to 100; the client's is low at 88.
The normal pH is 7.35 to 7.45; the client's is high at 7.52.
Normal arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) is between 80 and 100 mm Hg; the client's is low.
