Feedback:  The patient is encouraged to drink liberal amounts of fluids (water is the best choice) to increase urine production and flow, which flushes the bacteria from the urinary tract. Frequent voiding (every 2 to 3 hours) is encouraged to empty the bladder completely because this can significantly lower urine bacterial counts, reduce urinary stasis, and prevent reinfection. The patient should be encouraged to shower rather than bathe.

Feedback:  Stress incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine through an intact urethra as a result of sudden increase in intra-abdominal pressure. Reflex incontinence is loss of urine due to hyperreflexia or involuntary urethral relaxation in the absence of normal sensations usually associated with voiding. Overflow incontinence is an involuntary urine loss associated with overdistension of the bladder. Functional incontinence refers to those instances in which the function of the lower urinary tract is intact, but other factors (outside the urinary system) make it difficult or impossible for the patient to reach the toilet in time for voiding.

6. C) Insert the catheter 1 to 2 inches into the urethra.
7. D) Self-catheterize every 2 hours at home.

Feedback:  The patient may use a “clean” (non-sterile) technique at home, where the risk of cross-contamination is reduced.  The average daytime clean intermittent catheterization schedule is every 4 to 6 hours and just before bedtime.  The female patient assumes a Fowler’s position and uses a mirror to help locate the urinary meatus. The nurse teaches her to catheterize herself by inserting a catheter 7.5 cm (3 inches) into the urethra, in a downward and backward direction.

6. B) Knowledge deficit about the surgical procedure and postoperative care
7. C) Fear and anxiety related to the surgical procedure
8. D) Risk of infection related to the surgical procedure
