Question 3 of 5

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Checking the catheter and tubing first ensures there are no kinks, blockages, or improper placements causing the leak, which is a non-invasive and logical initial step. Irrigation or removal requires further assessment, and notifying the RN is premature without initial troubleshooting.
