Question 1 of 5
A nurse caring for a client with a new spinal cord injury notices that the indwelling urinary catheter has stopped flowing. What is the nurses best first action?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Check the tubing. This is the best first action because it allows the nurse to assess for any kinks, obstructions, or blockages in the tubing that may be causing the urine flow to stop. By checking the tubing first, the nurse can troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue without needing to escalate to notifying the physician or performing more invasive procedures like removing or replacing the catheter. Removing or replacing the catheter should only be considered if checking the tubing does not resolve the issue. Notifying the physician would be premature without first assessing the tubing.
