Answer to Question 2

A
The tip of the penis should be cleaned with soap and water or Betadine. The catheter should be inserted until urine is returned. Always lubricate the catheter before insertion. The catheter can be cleaned, dried, and reused for 1 week without increasing the risk of infection.
