[abc]

Because a full bladder prevents the uterus from contracting normally, nurses intervene to help the woman empty her bladder spontaneously as soon as possible. If all else fails, the last thing the nurse might try is:
 
  1. pouring water from a squeeze bottle over her perineum.
  2. placing oil of peppermint in a bedpan under the woman.
  3. asking the doctor to prescribe analgesics.
  4. inserting a sterile catheter.

Question 2

A child with burns requires daily whirlpool with dbridement treatment. The purpose of this treatment is to
 
  A) relieve pain.
  B) maintain mobility of extremities.
  C) decrease the need for skin grafts.
  D) prevent infection.

Answer to Question 1

4
1. Incorrect. Pouring water over the perineum may stimulate voiding. It is easy, noninvasive, and should be tried early on.
2. Incorrect. The oil of peppermint releases vapors that may relax the necessary muscles. It is easy, noninvasive, and should be tried early on.
3. Incorrect. If the woman is anticipating pain from voiding, pain medications may be help-ful. Other nonmedical means could be tried first, but medications still come before inserting a catheter.
4. Correct. Invasive procedures are usually the last to be tried, especially if there are so many simple and easy methods available: water, peppermint vapors, pain pills.
