Explanation

The dorsalis pedis artery pulse can be palpated lateral to the extensor hallucis longus tendon (or medially to the extensor digitorum longus tendon) on the dorsal surface of the foot, distal to the dorsal most prominence of the navicular bone which serves as a reliable landmark for palpation.

A. Collect a sterile specimen from the urinary drainage bag. B. Secure the tubing with adhesive tape to the lower abdomen. C. Instruct the client to hold the drainage bag at waist height when ambulating. D. Coil the tubing on the bed above the collection bag.

Correct Answer is B

Explanation

A.Urinary specimens collected from the bag may be contaminated and do not provide a reliable sample. A sterile specimen should be collected from the catheter port if needed.

B.In male patients secure catheter to upper thigh (with penis directed downward) or abdomen (with penis directed toward chest), allowing enough slack to prevent tension.

C.Guidelines recommend that the urinary drainage bag be kept below the level of the bladder, typically lower than the waist, to ensure proper urine flow and prevent reflux.

D.Coiling the tubing can impede proper drainage, leading to potential complications like urinary retention and infection.
