Question

33 of 50 the nurse has reinforced instructions to the client with a cystocele about kegel exercises. the nurse determines that the client has not fully understood the directions if the client makes which statement? rationale, strategy, reference, tip answer options 1. “stop and start the stream of urine several times during a voiding” 2. “tighten perineal muscles for up to 10 seconds several times a day” 3. “tighten perineal muscles for up to 5 minutes three or four times a day” 4. “begin voiding and then stop the stream, holding residual urine for an hour”

Explanation:

Kegel exercises involve tightening the pelvic - floor muscles. Stopping the urine stream during voiding is not a proper way as it can lead to urinary tract infections and other problems. Holding residual urine for an hour is extremely harmful and incorrect. Tightening perineal muscles for up to 10 seconds several times a day or for up to 5 minutes three - four times a day are correct ways of doing Kegel exercises.

Answer:

1. "Begin voiding and then stop the stream, holding residual urine for an hour"
