Answer to Question 1

C
Place signs on the patient's door and toileting area, indicating that a timed urine specimen collection is in progress. If the patient leaves the unit for a test or procedure, be sure that personnel in that area collect and save all urine. The nurse discards the first specimen and then collects every successive specimen until the time period has ended. Place a specimen collection container in the bathroom and, if indicated, in a pan of ice. The urine specimen is not to be contaminated with feces or toilet tissue.

Answer to Question 2

Suprapubic catheterization
Suprapubic catheterization involves the insertion of a urinary catheter directly into the bladder through the lower abdominal wall. Urine drains from the catheter into a urinary drainage bag. Suprapubic catheters are inserted with local or general anesthetic for short- or long-term use.
