Question

Your patient now has an indwelling catheter. Choose all of the correct statements listed below that pertain to your newly inserted catheter.

After the catheter was inserted, the RN documents this activity as "insert new catheter" under the urinary catheter documentation in the medical record. Because the patient has a catheter, documentation is required in both the Genitourinary System Assessment and under the Urinary Catheter Assessment tab. A patient has had a catheter for more than 24 hours, if a urine culture is ordered, the catheter must be removed. If the patient still requires a catheter, a new one is inserted and the urine for the culture is obtained from the new catheter. Catheter care is done once a day and as needed using the Foley care cleaning wipes and cleaning the catheter and urethral area. The color and characteristics of the patient's urine is expected to be documented in the Genitourinary System Assessment
