Question 1 of 5
The technique of removing an indwelling urethral catheter involves:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Removing an indwelling catheter requires washing hands (asepsis), deflating the balloon (via syringe, e.g., 10 mL), and applying gentle traction to slide it out, minimizing trauma. Inflating the balloon before removal damages the urethra incorrect and harmful. Explaining and pulling without deflation skips a critical step, risking injury. Screening and explaining are preparatory, but 'pulling gently' alone lacks deflation, incomplete and unsafe. The correct sequence hands washed, balloon deflated, gentle traction follows nursing standards (e.g., catheter care protocols), ensuring safety and comfort, making it the precise technique.
