Answer to Question 1

D
A, B, C, and D. Fully recovered client with continent urinary diversion must intubate (or be intubated if unable to do) every 4 hours and prn at night; irrigate bid and prn.

Answer to Question 2

B
Wheezes are high-pitched, continuous, musical sounds like a squeak heard continuously during inspiration or expiration; they are usually louder on expiration. Coarse crackles and bubbling are not descriptive of wheezes. Dry, grating noises are heard with a pleural friction rub. Loud, low-pitched rumbling is characteristic of rhonchi.
