Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
A Coud catheter has a curved tip that is used for patients with enlarged prostates. This would be indicated for a middle-aged male who needs bladder irrigation. Coud catheters are not indicated for children or women.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Using the uncontaminated dominant hand, cleanse the meatus with cotton balls/swab sticks, using circular strokes, beginning at the meatus and working outward in a spiral motion. Repeat 3 times using a clean cotton ball/swabstick each time. With the nondominant hand (now contaminated), retract the foreskin (if uncircumcised) and gently grasp the penis at the shaft just below the glans. Hold the shaft of the penis at a right angle to the body.
