While a student nurse is draining urine from a patient's bladder, the patient begins to experience bladder spasms. A nurse explains to the student that he or she should
 
  1. Allow the bladder to drain freely into the drainage bag.
  2. Try again with a properly inserted catheter.
  3. Twist the catheter slowly to improve urine flow.
  4. Always empty the bladder slowly, draining no more than 1000 mL at one time.

Question 2

When attempting to insert a standard catheter, a nurse is unable to separate a female patient's legs because of severe contractures. The nurse should

  2. Have the patient stand on the floor with her legs spread.
  3. Try to insert the catheter while the patient is lying on her side.
  4. Notify the doctor immediately.
