Many individuals have difficulty voiding in a bedpan or urinal while lying in bed because they
a. Are embarrassed that they will urinate on the bedding.
b. Would feel more comfortable assuming a normal voiding position.
c. Feel they are losing their independence by asking the nursing staff to help.
d. Are worried about acquiring a urinary tract infection.
ANS: B
Assuming a normal voiding position helps patients relax and be able to void; lying in bed is not the typical position in which people void. Men usually are most comfortable when standing; women are more comfortable when sitting and squatting. Embarrassment at using the bedpan and worrying about a urinary tract infection are not related to the lying-in-bed position. Fear of loss of independence is not related to use of the bedpan or urinal.
