Question 3 of 5
Which nursing intervention is most important before attempting to catheterize a client?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Verifying latex allergy prevents allergic reactions during catheterization, as many catheters are latex-based. Catheter history, anxiety, and sensation/voiding ability are important but secondary to safety.
Question 4 of 5

Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Diuretics are commonly prescribed in nephrotic syndrome to manage edema. Teaching proper diuretic use (e.g., timing, side effects like hypokalemia) is essential. Stopping steroids for moon face is incorrect, increasing sodium worsens edema, and weight loss is expected, not a concern.
