The nurse is doing a nutrition assessment on a patient that weighs 185 pounds and is 5' 8" tall. Calculate the patients BMI. (Round to the nearest whole number)

A. Functional urinary incontinence: This occurs when mobility or cognitive impairments prevent the client from reaching the toilet in time. Since this client has a strong urge to void, functional incontinence is not the best fit.

B. Urinary retention: Urinary retention is the inability to empty the bladder completely, often leading to overflow incontinence. However, this client experiences urgency and leakage, not retention.

C. Urge urinary incontinence: This occurs when a strong, sudden urge to urinate leads to involuntary leakage before reaching the toilet. It is often due to overactive bladder or neurological issues.

D. Impaired skin integrity: While prolonged incontinence can lead to skin breakdown, the primary diagnosis should address the cause of incontinence rather than a secondary complication.

A. Hold the penis at a 30° to 45° angle when inserting the catheter. The penis should be held at a 90° angle to straighten the urethra and facilitate catheter insertion.

B. Perform catheterization when you recognize the urge to void. Clients with BPH may not sense the urge due to urinary retention. Catheterization should be performed at scheduled intervals to prevent bladder overdistention.

C. Use soap and water to wash the catheter after each use. Proper cleaning of the catheter with soap and water helps prevent infection and prolongs the catheter’s usability.

D. Inflate the balloon when the urine flow stops. Self-catheterization uses a straight catheter, which does not have a balloon for inflation (balloons are used in indwelling catheters).
