Answer to Question 1

D
Case management is a delivery model that coordinates and links health care services to patients and families while streamlining costs and maintaining quality. Critical pathways state the goals and important elements of care based on best practice and patient expectations by documenting, monitoring, and evaluating variances and providing resources and outcomes. This system involves completing a flow sheet that incorporates those standard assessment and intervention criteria by placing a check mark in the appropriate standard box on the flow sheet to indicate normal findings and routine interventions. The logic for SOAP (IE) notes is similar to that for the nursing process: Collect data about the patient's problems, draw conclusions, and develop a plan of care.

Answer to Question 2

D
Clean intermittent self-catheterization (CISC) is a safe and effective way to empty the bladder. Current practice supports CISC for use in the home to provide a means to completely empty the bladder, prevent urinary tract infection, and prevent further bladder and kidney damage. Today, some hospital policies recommend sterile technique; others recommend clean technique.
