Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A
Empty pouches when they are one-third to one-half full so that the weight of the pouch does not disrupt the seal. A surgeon places the stents; these will be removed during the hospital stay or at the first postoperative visit with the surgeon. Place the patient in a semi-reclining position. If possible, provide the patient a mirror for observation. Properly dispose of used pouches and soiled equipment according to facility policy.
