A Correct. Anticholinergics such as oxybutynin chloride (Ditropan) may be administered to alleviate bladder spasms while the urethral stent is in place.

Answer to Question 2

A
Secondhand smoke increases the incidence of ear infections. Excessive pacifier use can also increase the occurrence. The nurse should not encourage the parent to stop breastfeeding. Breastfeeding reduces the risk. Parents should never clean the baby's ears with a cotton swab.
