How to fill out urinary caformterisation caformter care

How to fill out urinary catheterization catheter care:

1. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before starting. This step ensures proper hygiene and reduces the risk of infection.
2. Gather all the necessary supplies, including gloves, a clean catheter, water-based lubricant, a sterile container for urine collection, and cleaning solution or wipes.
3. Position the person needing care comfortably, either lying down with knees bent or sitting on the edge of a bed or chair with legs spread apart.
4. Put on disposable gloves to protect both yourself and the person receiving the care.
5. Clean the area around the urinary catheter with a mild cleaning solution or wipes. Start at the opening of the urethra and clean in circular motions moving outward. Avoid going back and forth to prevent the spread of bacteria.
6. Rinse the cleaning solution off with sterile water or use sterile wipes to remove any residue.
7. Use sterile water-based lubricant to gently insert the catheter into the urinary opening. Insert it slowly and carefully until urine starts to flow out.
8. Position the sterile container to collect the urine.
9. Allow the urine to flow naturally until it stops. If the flow stops, gently rotate or twist the catheter to dislodge any potential blockages.
10. Once the urine collection is complete, carefully remove the catheter using gentle and slow movements, making sure to avoid any unnecessary force.
11. Dispose of the used catheter in a proper container designated for medical waste.
12. Remove your gloves and wash your hands again with soap and water.
