Answer to Question 1

A
First, the nurse should put on gloves and have the patient void directly into the bedpan. Next, she should pour the urine into a graduated container, place the measuring device on a flat surface, and read the amount at eye level. She should observe the urine for color, clarity, and odor. Then, if no specimen is required, she should discard the urine in the toilet and clean the container and bedpan. Finally, she should record the amount of urine voided on the patient's intake and output record.

Answer to Question 2

A
Deep somatic pain originates in the ligaments, tendons, nerves, blood vessels, and bones. Deep somatic pain is localized and can be described as achy or tender. Cutaneous pain occurs in the superficial layers of the skin or subcutaneous tissue. Radiating pain starts at the source and extends to other locations. Visceral pain is commonly experienced in the abdominal cavity, cranium, or thorax. Visceral pain is not well localized and can be described as tight, pressure, or crampy pain.
