Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 1,2,3

The urinal should be rinsed to remove any remaining urine. The output should be recorded if the client has monitored intake and output. The urinal should be returned to the bedside unit so it is handy when it is next required. The bottle should never be propped between the client's legs, as it can lead to tissue damage. The nurse should already be wearing gloves if the urinal was just emptied.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

The application of a condom catheter could be safely delegated to the UAP. The other options should be completed by the RN because they either require sterile technique or a thorough assessment.
