A. Empty the bladderExplanation
A foley catheter is a type of urinary catheter that is used to empty the bladder. It is inserted into the bladder through the urethra and is secured in place by a balloon that is inflated with sterile water. The catheter allows urine to drain from the bladder into a collection bag, helping to relieve urinary retention or to monitor urine output. It is commonly used in medical settings, such as hospitals or nursing homes, for patients who are unable to urinate on their own or who require continuous bladder drainage.Rate this question:

Refrigeration helps to maintain the stability of the urine specimen until it can be properly analyzed in the laboratory.Rate this question:

The correct answer is to wipe down one side of the perineal area with the first towelette, down the other side with the second towelette, and down the middle with the third towelette. This is important for ensuring cleanliness and reducing the risk of contamination during the collection of a clean-catch midstream urine specimen. By wiping the perineal area in this manner, any potential bacteria or contaminants are removed, allowing for a more accurate urine sample.Rate this question:

Your patient has a PEG tube and you are about to administer a feeding. While checking residual, you obtain 95 ml of stomach contents. What would be your next nursing intervention?
- A.
Administer the scheduled feeding
- B.
Wait 30 minutes and reassess residual after
- C.
Skip the scheduled feeding and administer the next feeding due in 6 hours
- D.
Hold the feeding and immediately notify the MD of the assessed amount of residual volume
Correct Answer
B. Wait 30 minutes and reassess residual afterExplanation
After obtaining a residual volume of 95 ml, the next nursing intervention would be to wait 30 minutes and reassess the residual after. This is because a residual volume of 95 ml indicates that there is a significant amount of food remaining in the stomach, which may increase the risk of aspiration if the feeding is administered immediately. Waiting and reassessing the residual after 30 minutes allows for more accurate determination of gastric emptying and helps in deciding whether to proceed with the feeding or not.Rate this question:

You just inserted a nasogastric tube. Which of the following is NOT a correct way to check correct placement of the tube?
- A.
Follow the MD order for an Xray to confirm placement
- B.
Checking the pH of GI contents to be at 1 - 3.5
- C.
Obtaining a sample of GI contents through the tube by aspirating
- D.
Administering a 100 cc water, flush and assess for coughing
Correct Answer
D. Administering a 100 cc water, flush and assess for coughingExplanation
Administering a 100 cc water flush and assessing for coughing is not a correct way to check the correct placement of a nasogastric tube. Coughing indicates that the tube may be in the respiratory tract rather than the gastrointestinal tract. Checking the pH of GI contents, obtaining a sample of GI contents through aspiration, and following the MD order for an X-ray are all appropriate methods to confirm the correct placement of the tube.Rate this question:

Correct Answer

Supplementing oxygen using an adult non-rebreather mask is not a step that would be taken while replacing the tracheostomy tube. The focus should be on securing the new tube and ensuring proper placement, rather than providing supplemental oxygen.Rate this question:
