Answer to Question 1

A, B, D
Continuous indwelling catheter use is indicated for those with urethral obstruction or urinary re-tention because these patients are unable to empty their bladder without this device. Stress incon-tinence is not a condition that warrants a continuous indwelling catheter. Continuous indwelling catheter use is indicated for patients with severely impaired skin integrity to decrease the risk of further deterioration of skin integrity.

Answer to Question 2

C
After the loss of her husband, this older adult will most likely mourn the loss of her status in the community; no longer is she a wife or the wife of a community leader. After her husband's death, the opportunities for university-related travel and social occasions will most likely disappear from her life.
After extensive travel and sophisticated social stimulation, this older adult is likely to be self-confident and to have acquired life skills from her experiences. The president of a university is likely to have planned for retirement and is likely to have left his survivors with an adequate estate. This woman will most likely to be able to provide intellectual stimulation in her own life, although the stimulation from the university-related activities will likely decrease.
