Answer to Question 1

A, C, E
The key components of CAUTI prevention are to avoid unnecessary use of urinary catheters, insert urinary catheters using aseptic technique, adopt evidence-based standards for maintenance of urinary catheters, review the need for the urinary catheter daily, and remove the catheter promptly.

Answer to Question 2

A
The monitor is adjusted so that 0 is displayed, which equals atmospheric pressure. Atmospheric pressure is not zero; it is 760 mm Hg at sea level. Using zero to represent current atmospheric pressure provides a convenient baseline for hemodynamic measurement purposes.
