Practice Question
The infection prevention nurse provides a staff in-service on the prevention of catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI).
Answer Choices:
Rationale:
🟦 Routine perineal hygiene reduces bacterial colonization around the urethral meatus and is a core CAUTI-prevention measure.
🟦 Using a dedicated measuring receptacle prevents cross-contamination between clients.
🟦 Drainage bags should be emptied when two-thirds full, not completely full, to prevent backflow and bladder reflux.
🟦 The drainage bag must always remain below bladder level—placing it on the bed increases infection risk.
🟦 Securing the catheter minimizes traction and urethral trauma, reducing entry points for pathogens.
