Correct Answer:

Rationale: Overflow urinary incontinence: The client's condition, which includes wet clothes and sheets with a small volume of urine voided, suggests overflow urinary incontinence, where the bladder is not completely emptied and leaks small amounts of urine.
Place an incontinence containment product under the client: This action helps manage urinary incontinence by absorbing leaked urine and keeping the client dry, thereby preventing skin breakdown and discomfort.
Provide skin care: Regular skin care is essential to prevent skin irritation, breakdown, and potential infections, especially when the client is incontinent.
Intake and output: Monitoring intake and output is crucial in assessing the client's fluid balance and urinary function, ensuring that the incontinence is managed effectively.
Skin integrity: Monitoring skin integrity is necessary to identify any signs of pressure ulcers or skin breakdown, which can result from prolonged exposure to moisture due to incontinence.
