Answer to Question 1

D
Response:
Double diapering is a method used to protect a child's urethra and stent or catheter after surgery and additionally helps to keep the area clean and free from infection. Ensuring the drainage tube is taped in the upright position and administering antibiotics and analgesics are also important, but double diapering keeps the area clean and helps prevent infection.

Answer to Question 2

B
Response:
The nurse needs to use familiar terms to explain to the child what is needed and to gain cooperation. The most positive approach would be to let the child's mom help rather than demanding that the child tinkle right now. Using the terms urine sample or void is not appropriate for a 4-year-old.

This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
