Answer to Question 1

3
After a TURP, clots that can occlude the catheter and create a sensation to void in the client are common. The nurse should irrigate the catheter to allow the urine to flow. The nurse does not need to phone the physician, increase the flow of the irrigant, or tell the client to void.

Answer to Question 2

3
Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that attach bone to bone or bone to cartilage. Ligaments help to give joints stability, guide the joint movement, and prevent excess motion within the joint. Tendons connect muscle to bone. Bursae are synovial fluid-filled sacs near joints. Cartilage covers the ends of bone to reduce friction.
