Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
A condom catheter is a flexible sheath that is rolled around the penis. A urinary bag (U-bag) is a bag attached by adhesive backing to the skin surrounding the genitals. A straight catheter is a urine drainage tube inserted but not left in place; a retention catheter is a urine drainage tube that is left in place over a period of time.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback:
The nurse should use a fracture pan to assist a client with a musculoskeletal disorder to eliminate urine. A fracture pan, a modified version of a conventional bedpan, is flat on the sitting end rather than rounded. Clients with musculoskeletal disorders who cannot elevate their hips and sit on a bedpan in the usual manner use a fracture pan. Clients who are weak or cannot walk to the bathroom may need a commode. Clients confined to bed use a urinal or bedpan.
