Answer to Question 2

A, C
Feedback:
To perform Kegel exercises, the nurse would tell the client to squeeze the muscles in her rectum as if she is trying to prevent passing flatus. Then the nurse would tell the client to stop and start urinary flow to help identify the pubococcygeus muscle. Once this is accomplished, the nurse would tell the client to tighten the pubococcygeus muscle for a count of 3, and then relax it. Next the nurse would tell the woman to contract and relax the pubococcygeus muscle rapidly 10 times and try to bring up the entire pelvic floor and bear down 10 times. Finally, the nurse would tell the client to repeat these exercises at least 5 times daily.
