Answer to Question 1

C
C. Step 1b. Correctly verify product and identify client with a person considered qualified by your agency
A. Step 2c. Y tubing is used to facilitate maintenance of IV access in case a client will need more than 1 unit of blood.
B. Step 2e. Spike 0.9 normal saline IV bag with one of Y tubing spikes.
D. Step 1b(7)c. Empty urine drainage collection container, or have client void.

Answer to Question 2

C
If no urine appears, check whether the catheter is in the vagina. If misplaced, leave the catheter in the vagina as a landmark indicating where not to insert it, and insert another catheter into the meatus. Reinserting a catheter that has already been contaminated by vaginal exposure could lead to urinary tract infection.
