The nurse should understand that in a urinary diversion, one or both of the ureters are surgically implanted elsewhere. This procedure is done for various life-threatening conditions. Incontinence is the inability to control either urinary or bowel elimination. Catheter care means the hygiene measures used to keep meatus and adjacent area of the catheter clean. In order to collect a catheter specimen, the nurse uses a catheter to collect a sample of urine in a sterile environment.

A nurse researcher working in a subacute orthopedic hospital floor
She notes that her elders with knee replacements sleep as many as 16 hours a day, waking only for physical therapy and meals, but she also notices that those with many visitors sleep fewer hours and seem to experience more pain. She wonders whether sleep in elders after knee replacement prevents pain, or whether elders select the coping strategy of sleeping more, in response to pain, and begins to attempt to identify the relationship between the two. A literature search reveals only three descriptive studies on this topic, one quantitative and two qualitative. What is "the relationship between elders' hours of sleep following knee replacement and its relationship with report of pain"? a. The research aim b. The research purpose c. The research problem d.
