Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
A suprapubic catheter is used for long-term continuous drainage and is inserted through a small incision above the pubic area. Suprapubic bladder drainage diverts urine from the urethra when injury, stricture, prostatic obstruction, or abdominal surgery has compromised the flow of urine through the urethra.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The anatomy of the urethra differs in males and females. The male urethra is about 51/2 to 61/4 inches (13.7 to 16.2 cm) long. The female urethra is about 11/2 to 21/2 inches (3.7 to 6.2 cm) long. This difference is important in terms of catheterization and risk for infection.
