Question - Maurice Arviso is a 60-year-old Native American male directly admitted from his provider's office to the inpatient medical unit with community-acquired pneumonia. Maurice is determined to maintain his independence and dignity and refuses assistance with personal care, even though he experiences shortness of breath with any exertion. Just before the scenario begins, Maurice attempts to use the urinal independently and spills urine on the bed and floor.
