A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter for a female client. Identify the sequence of actions the nurse should take. (Move the steps into the box on the right, placing them in the order of performance. Use all the steps.)

A. Influenza immunizations: This is an example of primary prevention because it aims to prevent the occurrence of influenza infection in the first place.

B. Tuberculosis screenings: This is an example of secondary prevention because it involves early detection and treatment of tuberculosis infection to prevent its progression to active disease and

transmission to others.

C. Presentations about safer sex practices: This is an example of primary prevention aimed at reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections by promoting safe behaviors.

D. Evaluations of bloodborne pathogen policies: This is an administrative activity related to ensuring workplace safety and adherence to policies and procedures and does not directly

involve prevention of communicable diseases among individuals.

A. Monitoring the insertion site for infection:
Monitoring for infection is important in the long-term care of a client following cardiac catheterization, but it is not the immediate priority. Infection typically develops over time, not in the immediate postprocedure period.

B. Checking for orthostatic hypotension:
Orthostatic hypotension is not typically associated with cardiac catheterization. Instead, hypotension following the procedure would likely result from bleeding or hypovolemia. Monitoring for vital sign changes is important but not specific to orthostatic hypotension in this context.

C. Forcing fluids:
Encouraging fluids is necessary after cardiac catheterization to help flush out contrast dye and prevent nephropathy. However, this action is not the immediate priority compared to managing the risk of bleeding and maintaining hemostasis at the insertion site.

D. Immobilizing the affected extremity:
Immobilizing the extremity used for catheter insertion (usually the femoral artery) is the immediate priority. This action prevents complications such as bleeding, hematoma formation, or disruption of the arterial puncture site. Maintaining hemostasis and ensuring the integrity of the insertion site are critical during the immediate postprocedure period.
