A nurse is caring for an older adult client who is experiencing urinary incontinence. Which of the following client statements indicates the client has overflow incontinence?

A. Clean the client's finger with hexachlorophene: Hexachlorophene is not recommended for cleaning the skin before blood glucose testing; a mild soap and water or an alcohol swab is typically used.
B. Apply the first drop of blood to the test strip: The first drop of blood is often not used due to potential contamination; the nurse should usually wipe away the first drop and use the second one.
C. Hold the client's finger in a dependent position: This is correct as holding the finger downward can help increase blood flow to the fingertip, facilitating easier blood collection.
D. Prick the central tip of the client's finger: Pricking the central tip can be painful; the sides of the fingertip are preferred for less discomfort and to avoid nerve endings.

A. Elevate the head of the bed 45° before starting the CPM device: This is incorrect as elevating the head of the bed is not a necessary preparation for using the CPM device. The device should be used according to the specific postoperative guidelines.
B. Ensure the frame joint is in a flexed position before placing the leg onto the device: This is incorrect because the frame joint should generally be in an extended position to properly align the leg for movement through the device's range of motion.
C. Ensure the knee joint is positioned over the CPM device frame joint: This is correct because proper alignment of the knee joint with the CPM device's frame joint is crucial to ensure that the device functions correctly and promotes effective range-of-motion exercises.
D. Instruct the client to increase the degree of flexion as tolerated: This is incorrect because the degree of flexion should be adjusted according to the prescribed protocol by the healthcare provider and should not be self-adjusted by the client.
