Answer to Question 1

A

Feedback
A Correct. The nurse gives the family instructions about not force-flushing the catheter at any time and call if any problems with flushing occur.
B Incorrect. An external catheter exit site requires sterile dressing changes performed on a schedule.
C Incorrect. The child can take tub baths or showers. The practitioner should be consulted before swimming which is usually prohibited. Swimming may be allowed in certain situations. If the exit site is healed and the cuff adheres to the tissue, a transparent dressing can be placed over the catheter and exit site, and swimming may be permitted for a limited time in a chlorinated pool.
D Incorrect. Trauma to the device is highly unlikely because of its location on the upper chest wall.
