Rationale 1: Voiding prior to the assessment helps ensure comfort; clean gloves prevent exposure to body fluids.
Rationale 2: It is appropriate to ask about a body part when assessing that part.
Rationale 3: The patient should be asked whether she wants visitors to remain in the room or leave the room prior to beginning the assessment.
Rationale 4: Informing the patient of the results and of the normalcy of the results helps reassure her.
