How to fill out indwelling urinary caformter resident

How to fill out an indwelling urinary catheter for a resident:

1. Gather all necessary supplies: sterile gloves, catheter kit, catheter lubricant, disinfectant wipes, drainage bag, and a clean container for urine sample if needed.
2. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and warm water before starting the procedure.
3. Explain the procedure to the resident and ensure their consent and cooperation.
4. Put on sterile gloves to maintain proper hygiene and prevent infection.
5. Place a waterproof pad or towel under the resident to protect the bedding from any potential spills or leaks.
6. Clean the genital area with disinfectant wipes or a mild soap solution, starting from front to back. Pat dry gently with a clean towel.
7. Open the catheter kit and follow the manufacturer's instructions to assemble the catheter.
8. Apply a generous amount of catheter lubricant to the tip of the catheter to ease insertion.
9. Gently separate the resident's labia (for females) or retract the foreskin (for males) to expose the urethra.
10. Slowly insert the catheter into the urethra, following the natural curve of the passage. If you encounter resistance, pause and try again gently.
11. Once the catheter enters the bladder, urine should begin to flow into the drainage bag. Secure the catheter in place using adhesive or a strap provided with the kit.
12. Ensure that the drainage bag is positioned below the level of the bladder to allow for proper gravity drainage.
13. Observe the resident for any signs of discomfort or complications, such as bleeding or urine leakage around the catheter.
14. Provide appropriate care and hygiene for the resident's genital area, keeping the catheter clean and ensuring the drainage bag is emptied regularly.
