B. 16 Foley catheter inserted with return of clear, yellow urine. C. 5 ml balloon inflated in the urethra but client is now comfortable. D. Indwelling catheter inserted because the client is incontinent.
B This statement includes the best objective data, including the size of the catheter and the outcome of the procedure. In addition, the nurse should also document how the client tolerated the procedure and the client's condition following completion of the procedure.
The nurse would delegate which of the following to nursing assistive personnel (NAP)? A. Repositioning and retaping a patient's nasogastric tube B. Performing glucose monitoring every 6 hours on a patient C. Documenting PO intake on a patient who is on a calorie count for 72 hours D. Administering enteral feeding bolus after tube placement has been verified E. Hanging a new bag of enteral feeding
BC The skills of measuring blood glucose level after skin puncture (capillary puncture) and writing down the amount the patient ate can be delegated to NAP. The nurse needs to administer enteral feeding because of the risk of aspiration. The nasogastric tube should never be repositioned by the NAP for risk of causing injury to the patient.
Which nursing interventions should the nurse implement when removing an indwelling urinary catheter in an adult patient?SATA A. Attach a 3 mL syringe to the inflation port B. Allow the balloon to drain into the syringe by gravity. C. Initiate a voiding record/bladder diary D. Pull catheter quickly E. Clamp the catheter prior to removal.
BC. By allowing the balloon to drain by gravity the development of creases or ridges in the balloon may be avoided and thus minimize trauma to the urethra during withdrawal. All patients who have a catheter removed should have their voiding monitored. The best way to do this is with a voiding record or bladder diary. The size syringe used to deflate the balloon is dictated by the size of the balloon. In the adult patient balloon sizes are either 10 mLs or 30 mLs. Catheters should be pulled out slowly and smoothly. There is no evidence to support clamping catheters prior to removal.
A client comes to the primary care provider's office with the complaints of urinating all the time, pain on urination, small amounts of urine being passed when voiding, and a foul smell to the urine.

C
What is a critical step when inserting an indwelling catheter into a male patient? A. Slowly inflate the catheter balloon with sterile saline. B. Secure the catheter drainage tubing to the bed sheets C. Advance the catheter to the bifurcation of the drainage and balloon ports. D. Advance the catheter until urine flows, then insert ¼ inch more.
C Advancing the catheter to the bifurcation avoids inflating the catheter balloon in the prostatic urethra causing trauma and pain. Catheter balloons are never inflated with saline. Securing the catheter drainage tubing to the bed sheets increases the risk for accidental pulling or tension on the catheter. The advancement of the catheter until flows and then inserting ¼ inch more is not unique to the male patient.
What instructions should the nurse give the NAP concerning a patient who has had an indwelling urinary catheter removed that day? A. Limit oral fluid intake to avoid possible urinary incontinence. B. Expect patient complaints of suprapubic fullness and discomfort. CORRECT C. Report the time and amount of first voiding. D. Instruct patient to stay in bed and use a urinal or bedpan.
C In order to adequately assess bladder function after a catheter is removed; voiding frequency and amount should be monitored. Unless contraindicated, fluids should be encouraged. To promote normal micturition, patients should be placed in as normal a posture for voiding as possible. Suprapubic tenderness and pain are possible indicators of urinary retention and/or a UTI.
Which of the following clients is most likely to require interventions in order to maintain regular bowel patterns? A) A client who has a history of atrial fibrillation requiring daily anticoagulants B) A woman 59 years of age who has recently begun hormone replacement therapy C) A client whose neuropathic pain requires multiple doses of opioids each day D) A client with hypertension who takes a diuretic and adrenergic blocker each morning
C Opioids have a very high potential to cause constipation. Anticoagulants, hormone replacements, diuretics, and -blockers are not among the medications commonly implicated in cases of constipation.

What is the best nursing intervention for this patient? A. Recommend she be evaluated for an OAB medication. B. Start a scheduled toileting program. C. Recommend she be evaluated for an indwelling catheter. D. Start a bladder retraining program
B The first nursing intervention for any patient with incontinence, who is able to toilet, is to assist them with toilet access. This patient is not cognitively intact so a bladder retraining program is not appropriate for her. It is not clear in this case that she has OAB and a catheter is never a good solution for incontinence.
A client is responsive but confused and frequently pulls on the urinary catheter. The nurse observes obvious hematuria in the drainage bag and notes the presence of several blood clots in the tubing.11. Which recording objectively documents the situation? A. Client does not know what he is doing, and he has caused bleeding to occur in the urine. B. Surgery caused client's confusion, resulting in pulling on the catheter and hemorrhage. C. Client is confused and pulls on the foley catheter. Urine is pinkish-red with blood clots. D. The client was instructed not to pull on his catheter, and now there is hematuria in the tubing.

A client has urge incontinence. When obtaining the health history, the nurse should ask if the client has: A. Inability to empty the bladder. B. Loss of urine when coughing. C. Involuntary urination with minimal warning. D. Frequent dribbling of urine.
C. (A characteristic of urge incontinence is involuntary urination with little or no warning. The inability to empty the bladder is urine retention. Loss of urine when coughing occurs with stress incontinence. Frequent dribbling of urine is common in male clients after some types of prostate surgery or may occur in women after the development of a vesicovaginal or urethrovaginal fistula.)
A 36 year old female, who is 29 weeks pregnant, reports she is experiencing burning when voiding. The physician orders a urinalysis. Which statement by the patient demonstrates she understands how to collect the specimen? A. "I'll hold the cup firmly against the urethra while collecting the sample." B. "I will cleanse back to front with the antiseptic wipe before peeing in the cup." C. "First, I will pee a small amount of urine in the toilet and then collect the rest in the cup." D. "I will be sure to drink a lot of fluids to keep the urine diluted before peeing into the cup."
C. When collecting a urinalysis it is important to avoid contaminating the sample. So, the patient will collect the urine during mid-stream. The patient will void a small amount in the toilet and then void the rest into the cup (until it is halfway full). The cup should be placed a few inches away from the urethra and prior to voiding the patient should use an antiseptic wipe to cleanse the labia from front to back. It is best to collect the sample when the bladder has been full for 2-3 hours, therefore the urine in concentrated not diluted.
What is the use of double lumen catheters? A. Straight catheterization B. Intermittent catheterization C. Continuous bladder irrigation D. Urinary drainage and inflation of a balloon
D

Remind the client to void every two hours while awake and to call for assistance to the bathroom
D
A practice guideline for nurses to use in preventing catheter-associated urinary infection includes which of the instructions listed below? A. Maintain clean technique when inserting the catheter into the client. B. Disconnect the catheter and drainage tubing once a shift to rinse the unit in cleaning the device. C. Since you are wearing gloves, it is not necessary to wash your hands. D. Prevent contamination of the catheter with feces in the incontinent client.
D Keeping the perineal area free of feces eliminates the possible spread of any bacteria that may colonize in the feces and travel up the catheter to the bladder. Sterile or aseptic technique is used when inserting Foley catheters into clients to prevent the spread of infection with the process. Catheter tubing should not be disconnected once put into use. Connections are usually taped to help secure their seal. Wearing gloves with this procedure is part of the practice of Universal Precautions utilized when health care workers come in contact with most tubes and body fluids.
A student nurse explains a foley catheter procedure to the patient who gives permission to begin. After cleansing the urinary meatus, the student maintains sterile technique while inserting the catheter into the urethra about 4 inches. While inflating the balloon, the patient cries out in obvious pain. what action should the student nurse take? A. Reassure the client that the pain he is experiencing is only temporary B. Tape the catheter to the clients abdomen to prevent further movement of the Foley C. Remove the catheter from the urethra D. Deflate the balloon and insert the catheter farther
