Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a female client who has an indwelling urinary catheter. Which of the following actions should the nurse include in the plan?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Keep the drainage bag below the level of the bladder. This is important to prevent backflow of urine into the bladder, reducing the risk of urinary tract infections. Placing the drainage bag below the bladder ensures that gravity can assist with drainage.
Choice A is incorrect because taping the catheter to the lower abdomen can cause tension and discomfort.
Choice B is incorrect as attaching the drainage bag to the side rails can lead to accidental pulling on the catheter.
Choice C is incorrect because waiting for the bag to be three-quarters full can lead to increased risk of infection.
