Answer to Question 1

B
Feedback:
Massage using the Crede' maneuver helps to empty the bladder. Standing and warm water help initiate a urine stream. Caffeine should be limited.

Answer to Question 2

C
Immediate management includes splinting and elevation of the involved part to prevent edema. After the immediate management, analgesic for pain, application of cold to prevent edema, and observing for signs of shock must be part of the plan of care.
