Answer to Question 1

3
A urine specimen obtained from a non-catheterized client should be collected using a specimen cup and by using the proper cleansing technique. The nurse should not instruct the client to reduce fluid intake. The nurse does not need to catheterize the client to obtain the specimen. The nurse should not be using urine from a urinal for this specimen.

Answer to Question 2

1, 3, 5
The three primary pathological conditions of the nipple include bleeding, discharge, and fissures. Lumps, scars, and size are not associated with pathological conditions of the nipple.
