Question 1 of 5
Which nursing intervention decreases the risk for CAUTI (Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections)?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Hanging the urinary drainage bag below the level of the bladder. This intervention helps prevent reflux of urine into the bladder, reducing the risk of CAUTI. Gravity promotes proper drainage and prevents stagnant urine, minimizing bacterial growth.
A: Irrigating the urinary catheter with sterile water is unnecessary and can introduce contaminants, increasing the risk of infection.
C: Cleansing the urinary meatus frequently with antiseptic solution may disrupt the natural flora and skin barrier, leading to an increased risk of infection.
D: While emptying the urinary drainage bag daily is important, it does not directly decrease the risk of CAUTI.
