Answer to Question 1

C
If no urine appears, check whether the catheter is in the vagina. If misplaced, leave the catheter in the vagina as a landmark indicating where not to insert it, and insert another catheter into the meatus. Reinserting a catheter that has already been contaminated by vaginal exposure could lead to urinary tract infection.
