Answer to Question 1

A
Large catheters (larger than 16 Fr) can distend the urethra and permanently damage the urethra and bladder neck, as well as cause bladder spasms and leaking around the catheter. Use a catheter of the smallest size possible to minimize trauma and promote adequate drainage of the periurethral glands. This will decrease the risk for infection.

C. Dry, pale, eye membranes indicate inadequate iron intake.
