  2. The patient reuses a cleaned catheter each time.
  3. The patient uses clean gloves to insert the catheter.
  4. The patient denies any sensation of bladder fullness before catheterization.

Question 2

A nurse is providing care for a patient who recently had bladder surgery. The patient is being discharged and will need to perform self-catheterization every 4 hours at home.
 
  Which of the following statements will the nurse include in the discharge teaching?
 
  1. You will need to have someone who can do this for you throughout the day.
  2. You will need to use a new suprapubic catheter each time you catheterize yourself.
  3. The straight catheter will be inserted through the urethra and into the bladder to allow urine to be emptied.
  4. This is somewhat difficult. Maybe the doctor will order an indwelling catheter for you instead.
