Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
Preventative measures for UTIs include drinking plenty of water, voiding when the urge is felt, wiping from front to back, taking showers instead of baths, not using perfumes or bath oil if baths are taken, wearing cotton underwear, and avoiding feminine hygiene sprays and scented douches. The other options are not related.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
In young adulthood, women especially begin to manifest stress-related disorders, including comfort eating. The nurse's best action is to assess the woman for this problem. The nurse can encourage her to exercise and can caution her about the relationship between poor nutrition and chronic illness, but if stress is causing the woman to overeat, she probably will not be able to make significant changes without addressing the cause. Asking the woman if she knows how heavy she is right now is disrespectful and will likely end the therapeutic relationship.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
