Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Teaching about measures to promote urinary system health is a major nursing responsibility. Measures include drying the perineal area after urination or defecation from the front to the back (or from urethra to rectum).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Kegel exercises, or pelvic floor muscle training, are used to tone and strengthen the muscles that support the bladder. They can improve voluntary control of urination and thus improve or eliminate stress incontinence. The muscles to contract are the same ones used to stop urination midstream or control defecation. The client should not contract the muscles of the abdomen, inner thigh, or buttocks while doing Kegel exercises.
