Answer to Question 1

2. Intermittent straight catheterization

Rationale:
The doctor may order straight catheterization so the client can be taught to self catheterize and manage the problem at home. Anticholinergic medications can cause urinary retention. Bladder stones are not the problem; scarring is. Antibiotic therapy is not indicated as the client does not have an infection now.

Answer to Question 2

1. Antidysrhythmic medications have many side effects; cardioversion is considered safer..

Rationale:
Antidysrhythmic medications can cause serious side effects and are normally reserved for clients with overt symptoms or for clients whose condition cannot be controlled by other means, such as cardioversion. Medications are effective for dysrhythmias; however they have many side effects. There is no need for a special diet when a client is taking an antidysrhythmic drug. Antidysrhythmic drugs do not commonly cause seizures.
