Catheters, Catheter Care
• Catheters are rubber/plastic tubes used to drain urine from bladder
• Catheters may be irrigated by introduction of fluid into bladder
![Page 14: 1 Elimination CHAPTER 18 Pg 465-467. 2 Objectives Observe/record significant characteristics of normal urine –Amount –Color –Clarity –Odor Identify abnormal](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfb61a28abf838c9e03d/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14
Catheters, Catheter Care
• Indwelling catheters (Foley, retention) have a “balloon” to hold catheter in bladder and facilitate constant drainage of urine
• Straight catheters (red rubber, Robinson) have no “balloon” and are used for one time catheterization or to obtain a sterile urine specimen
![Page 15: 1 Elimination CHAPTER 18 Pg 465-467. 2 Objectives Observe/record significant characteristics of normal urine –Amount –Color –Clarity –Odor Identify abnormal](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081603/5697bfb61a28abf838c9e03d/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

“dragging” of tubing• Tape catheter to inner thigh (female) or
abdominal area (male)• Drainage bag emptied at end of shift (I&O) or
prn• Report/document C/O, discomfort and
characteristics of urine
