A nurse is teaching a newly licensed nurse about an ileal conduit.The nurse should include which of the following information?

Choice A rationale

It is best practice to use a new cotton swab for each swipe to avoid contamination. Each area should be cleaned with a separate cotton swab.

Choice B rationale

Oil-based lubricants should not be used with catheters as they can interfere with the material of the catheter. Water-based lubricants are preferred.

Choice C rationale

Testing the balloon on the indwelling urinary catheter before insertion can lead to an increased risk of contamination and potential damage to the catheter.

Choice D rationale

Sterile gloves are essential to prevent infection during the insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter. Maintaining a sterile field is crucial.

Choice A rationale

Returning the opened medication to the medication cart is inappropriate because once a medication is opened and refused by a client, it must be disposed of properly. This action helps maintain safety and prevents contamination.

Choice B rationale

Reporting the incident to the provider is not necessary in this context as the refusal to take medication can be managed by the nurse by following the facility's protocol.

Choice C rationale

Filling out an incident report is required because the client's refusal to take the medication is considered a significant event. Incident reports are used to document and analyze such events to improve patient care and safety.

Choice D rationale

Notifying the facility's ethics committee is unnecessary for a medication refusal incident, as it does not involve an ethical dilemma requiring their intervention.
