Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

The client must be asked to cleanse the urethra to avoid contamination of the urine specimen. Sterile gloves are not needed for this collection. The UAT should help the client, if needed, to avoid contamination.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Betadine, like contrast media, is an iodine-containing compound, so the primary care provider should be notified due to the risk of administering contrast to this client. The other allergies have no impact on the procedure, and the primary care provider would not need to be notified.
