Question 1 of 5
A nurse is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter. Which of the following instructions should the nurse give the client to help ease the passage of the catheter through the urinary meatus?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Bear down. Bearing down helps relax the pelvic floor muscles and opens the urethra, making it easier to pass the catheter. This action mimics the process of urination and can help the catheter glide smoothly through the urinary meatus.
Choice A is incorrect as raising the head off the pillow does not directly aid in the ease of catheter insertion.
Choice C, holding the breath, can increase intra-abdominal pressure and make catheter insertion more difficult.
Choice D, performing Kegel exercises, involves contracting rather than relaxing the pelvic floor muscles, which can hinder catheter insertion.
