Answer to Question 1

Answer: 4

1. A good night's sleep is a good idea, but not a necessity.
2. The client will not be given drugs that impair the client's ability to drive.
3. The client will be walking on a treadmill, so movement is necessary.
4. Caffeine and smoking cause vasoconstriction, and could influence the results of the test.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 2

1. Urinary output is not usually impaired by a catheterization.
2. The femoral artery is usually used to insert the catheter. The nurse will observe the client closely for bleeding post-procedure.
3. Nerve damage is not an expected complication for the foot opposite the insertion site.
4. Bowel function is not affected by catheterization.
