Answer to Question 1

2

Rationale: Broccoli is a cruciferous vegetable, which is helpful in reducing the risk of cancer. Other cruciferous vegetables are cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage. Red meat (bacon) and meats with nitrites (bologna and broiled beef) can increase the risk of developing cancer.

Answer to Question 2

1, 2, 3, 5

Rationale: The client should be taught that there are only minor activity restrictions with this catheter. The client should protect the site during bathing and should carry Medic-Alert identifi-cation. The client should have a repair kit in the home for PRN use, because it is a long-term catheter. Redness or swelling at the catheter insertion site needs to be reported because this could indicate a sign of infection.
