A) call the home health care service and ask when the health aide is scheduled to arrive.
B) access the drain, drain the urine into a container, and reassess the patient's discomfort.
C) transport to the ED, as any procedure involving a Foley requires special training.
D) remove the Foley catheter using aseptic technique and transport.
