Answer to Question 1

B
The steps to process an ethical dilemma include the following: (1) Is this an ethical dilemma? (2) Gather all information relevant to the case. (3) Examine and determine your own values and opinions about the issues. (4) State the problem clearly. (5) Consider possible courses of action. (6) Negotiate the outcome. (7) Evaluate the action.

Answer to Question 2

A
For patients requiring long-term catheterization, catheter changes should be individualized, not routine. In many cases, catheters need to be changed every 4 to 6 weeks. Long-term catheters should be changed for leaking, blockage, and before obtaining a sterile specimen for urine culture. Long-term catheterization should be avoided because of its association with urinary tract infection. Make every attempt to remove catheters as soon as the patient can void.
