Answer to Question 1

D
Encourage the patient with a UTI to drink at least 2200 mL of fluid per day. The insertion site is cleansed in a circular swabbing pattern so as not to disturb the tubing. Standard care requires the use of clean gloves and securing the catheter to the abdomen.

Answer to Question 2

C
Nursing care should be prioritized when multiple patients are cared for at once. ABCs (airway, breathing, and circulation) should always take precedence. The patient who is breathing only eight times per minute is in need of immediate nursing care. The goal of triage is to sort, assess, and perform lifesaving measures as quickly as possible for large numbers of victims.
