When the nurse moves the client's arm away from the midline of the body, the
nurse is performing
abduction
When assessing the client's upper extremities, the nurse instructs the client to

D. The foreskin is left in a retracted position after catheter insertion.
D. The foreskin is left in a retracted position after catheter insertion.

False
Failure to reduce the foreskin after catheterization can result in paraphimosis
(constriction of the foreskin).
