Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: The client should respond to the urge to void as soon as possible to avoid urinary retention.
Rationale 2: Drinking 8 to 10 glasses of water daily will encourage the need for bladder emptying, keeping the system flushed.
Rationale 3: The client should report any changes in urine color, which could be indicative of a problem.
Rationale 4: To maintain asepsis, the client should wash with soap and water every day, not every other day.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: The drainage bag should be emptied regularly, not just once a day but at least three times a day.
Rationale 2: Hanging the drainage bag on the towel rod is too high. The drainage bag should be hung below the bladder.
Rationale 3: Adequate amounts of fluids should be consumed to help prevent sediments and infections.
Rationale 4: The client should take a shower rather than a tub bath because sitting in a tub allows bacteria to easily access the urinary tract.
