Correct Answer is C

Explanation

A. Apply a transparent dressing to the wound: Incorrect. Transparent dressings are not appropriate for controlling active bleeding.

B. Tie a tourniquet around the leg distal to the wound: Incorrect. A tourniquet should only be used as a last resort if direct pressure fails to control the bleeding.

C. Apply direct pressure to the wound with thick dressing material: Direct pressure is the first-line intervention to control bleeding and promote hemostasis.

D. Irrigate the wound with sterile water: Incorrect. Irrigation is not the priority in an actively bleeding wound; controlling the bleeding is more critical.

A. Pick up the catheter 13 cm (5 in) from its tip. B. Perform the cleansing procedure with a fresh swab two times. C. Cleanse the tip of the penis in a side-to-side motion. D. Lift the penis so that it is perpendicular to the client's body.

Correct Answer is D

Explanation

A. The catheter should be picked up carefully, but the length from the tip is less important than maintaining sterility.

B. Cleansing the area is typically done with a single clean swab in a circular motion from the urethral meatus outward.

C. The correct technique for cleaning the penis is a circular motion from the urethra outward, not side-to-side.

D. Lifting the penis perpendicular to the body helps straighten the urethra, making catheter insertion easier and reducing the risk of injury.
