Answer to Question 1

2
Rationale: The nurse begins by learning more about the hospital to determine if it is a facility that he would like to work for. After learning more about the facility, the nurse will complete and submit an application. The nurse learns about salary during the interview process. The meeting with the head nurse will be arranged after the initial screening interview with Human Resources.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,5
Rationale: The client who experiences urinary incontinence will benefit from being reminded to void regularly, performing Kegel exercises, and meticulous skin care to prevent damage from urine remaining on the skin. Positive, not negative, reinforcement should be used to reward successes. Insertion of an indwelling catheter exposes the client to the risk of urinary tract infection, and might worsen, rather than improve, urinary incontinence.
