Question 1 of 5

A nurse is planning care for a client who has a history of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and requires placement of an indwelling urinary catheter. Which of the following actions should the nurse take to help minimize the client's risk for acquiring a UTI?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Secure the catheter to the client's thigh. Securing the catheter to the client's thigh helps prevent tension on the catheter, reducing the risk of trauma to the urinary tract mucosa that can lead to UTIs. Placing the urinary bag at bladder level (choice
A) when ambulating does not directly minimize the risk of UTI. Looping the tubing lower than the collection bag (choice
B) can lead to backflow of urine, increasing the risk of infection. Obtaining urinary samples by disconnecting tubing connections (choice
C) poses a risk of contamination. Option D is the best choice for minimizing UTI risk.
