Practice Question
A nurse is preparing to remove a client's urinary catheter. After performing hand hygiene, which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Position the client supine.
Rationale:
🛡Removing a catheter begins with placing the client in a supine position, which allows for relaxation of the pelvic muscles and safe removal.
🛡After positioning, the balloon should be fully deflated before removal to prevent urethral trauma.
🛡The client does not need to bear down during removal, as this can cause discomfort and resistance.
🛡Cleaning the perineum is important for hygiene, but it is performed after catheter removal, not as the first action.
🛡Correct positioning is the priority step that ensures safe and effective removal.
