Correct Answer is A

Explanation

A. "Excessive laxative use may cause an electrolyte imbalance." Chronic laxative use can lead to hypokalemia, dehydration, and other imbalances.

B. "Chronic use of laxatives can lead to a tear in the rectal mucosa." While irritation is possible, tearing (anal fissures) is more associated with straining or hard stools, not laxative overuse.

C. "Decrease your intake of foods high in fiber." Fiber helps regulate bowel movements and reduces laxative dependence.

D. "Irregular bowel movements are an indication of poor intestinal health." Bowel patterns vary by individual, and irregularity does not always indicate poor health.

A. Hold the penis at a 30° to 45° angle when inserting the catheter. B. Perform catheterization when you recognize the urge to void. C. Use soap and water to wash the catheter after each use. D. Inflate the balloon when the urine flow stops.

Correct Answer is C

Explanation

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).
