Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2

Prior to beginning irrigation, the nurse should empty the collection bag and record the output on the client's intake and output record. The roller clamp is opened when beginning irrigation, and the output drainage is then assessed for amount, color, and clarity. After initiating the procedure, the nurse documents the irrigation.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 2

The penis should be inspected and cleaned before applying the catheter, to minimize skin irritation and excoriation. Documentation would be performed after the catheter was applied. An order is not required for use of a condom catheter. The drainage system is applied after applying the condom catheter.
