Answer to Question 1

A
A, B, C, and D. Begin by placing cane on the side opposite the involved leg. Provides added support for the weak or impaired side. Place cane forward 6 to 10 inches (15 to 25 cm), keeping body weight on both legs.

Answer to Question 2

C. If resistance is noted to inflation or the client complains of pain, the balloon may not be entirely within the bladder. Stop inflation; aspirate any fluid injected into the balloon, and advance the catheter a little more before reattempting to inflate.
