Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Clients frequently turn to absorbent products for protection when they are incontinent of urine and if they have not had this condition properly diagnosed and treated. When used improperly, such products may cause skin breakdown and place the client at risk for a UTI.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
A postvoid residual (PVR) urine measures the amount of urine remaining in the bladder after voiding. It can be measured by catheterization or a bladder scan. A PVR of less than 50 mL indicates adequate bladder emptying. The nurse would document this normal finding for PVR.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa.

Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
