Answer to Question 1

Immediately reposition the collection bag below the level of the bladder and affix it to the bed in the proper fashion. Obtain and replace your facilities securing device. Notify the nurse of your observations and your actions.

You should notify the nurse immediately. The infant should be having wet diapers every few hours, 6 to 20 times a day. Not making urine signals dehydration in an infant and is very serious.
