Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
A suprapubic catheter is used for long-term continuous drainage and is inserted through a small incision above the pubic area. Suprapubic bladder drainage diverts urine from the urethra when injury, stricture, prostatic obstruction, or abdominal surgery has compromised the flow of urine through the urethra.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
The anatomy of the urethra differs in males and females. The male urethra is about 51/2 to 61/4 inches (13.7 to 16.2 cm) long. The female urethra is about 11/2 to 21/2 inches (3.7 to 6.2 cm) long. This difference is important in terms of catheterization and risk for infection.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. 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.
