Question 1 of 5
A charge nurse is teaching a group of nurses about decreasing the risk for catheter-associated urinary tract infections in clients. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Keep the collection bag below bladder level. This is important to prevent backflow of urine into the bladder, reducing the risk of infection. Keeping the collection bag below bladder level ensures a continuous flow of urine out of the bladder and prevents stagnation, which can lead to bacterial growth.
A: Disconnecting the drainage tube for irrigation can introduce bacteria into the catheter, increasing infection risk.
C: Using a larger catheter size (20 French) may cause trauma to the urethra, increasing infection risk.
D: Allowing the drainage bag to fill completely before emptying can increase the risk of pulling on the catheter and introducing bacteria into the bladder.
