Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Expulsion of the feces is assisted by contraction of the abdominal muscles and the diaphragm, which increases abdominal pressure, and by contraction of the muscles of the pelvic floor, which moves the feces through the anal canal.
Rationale 2: Normal defecation is facilitated by thigh flexion, which increases the pressure within the abdomen, and a sitting position, which increases the downward pressure on the rectum.
Rationale 3: Thigh flexion increases the pressure within the abdomen.
Rationale 4: The sitting position increases the downward pressure on the rectum.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: This skill can be delegated to UAP.
Rationale 2: This skill can be delegated to UAP.
Rationale 3: This activity can be delegated to UAP.
Rationale 4: Due to the need for sterile technique and detailed knowledge of anatomy, insertion of a urinary catheter is not delegated to UAP.
