We were taught NOT to pull the fluid out of the balloon, rather let the pressure allow the fluid to come out on its own once it’s connected.

[@TheTimGree]

What was the explanation offered to you as to why you should let the balloon deflate on its own, and why it should not be deflated by the syringe?

[@irelandguthrie]

@@TheTimGreepulling on the syringe can cause more pressure which puts more potential stress on the urethra when most of the fluid would enter the syringe without pulling. (Sometimes tho there’s 1-2ml still left and that’s when I was taught to gently pull)

[@ashleymelendez4545]

When taking a urine sample from the port is this a sterile or clean procedure?

[@LevelUpRN]

Ashley, if I'm retrieving a sample after the initial insertion it would be considered a clean procedure. You swab the port with an alcohol swab, withdraw urine using a luer lock syringe, and deposit the urine into a specimen cup. - Ellis

[@cathepar]

you are the best explaining skills thank you

[@LevelUpRN]

Thank you so much!

[@changqingyang2653]

The syringe with lubricant is not sterilized. After using it, your right hand is not sterilized, too. Then you touch the sterilized urinary catheter , and the urinary catheter cannot be sterilized before inserting patient’s urethra. This procedure should be “Violation of aseptic operation principles”.

[@JustAdude291]

When you check the order, does the provider decide the size of the foley and include it in the order or does the provider reccomended the size and the nurse uses judgement to select the right size? By size I mean both diameter and length. I only did one, once, a while ago and can't remember that fact. Thank you!

[@LevelUpRN]

Generally speaking, a partitioner order includes the recommended size/diameter (12 to 16 Fr) which are often also a standard length. That being said, if the nurse encounters an issue (urine leaking around the tubing), it becomes a team effort to determine the right size for that patient. If the patient is experiencing clotting, obstruction, or some type of trauma or disorder then the partitioner would likely order something more specific (e.g., a larger diameter to drain clots or blood). Pediatric catheters are, of course, much smaller in diameter, length, and balloon size.

[@carsonstephens2508]

@@garycole6504 no, it really can’t. It’s a lubricated flexible tube going into another lubricated flexible tube. The only trauma that can be caused is if the balloon is inflated in the urethra but that’s basically impossible when you know what you’re doing.

[@dennisneo1608]

You mean a man?

[@vicrogers6374]

Why is the patient left exposed so long . The package should have been opened and ready for the inserting. Bad enough for the man to be embarrassed by the situation, no concern by the nurse . Men are human, not an object .

[@LevelUpRN]

Patient privacy is a priority during care. For this video, the patient was cleaned and positioned first. This is because the catheter tray contents are sterile and handling the patient after opening the tray posed a sterility concern. However, when inserting a catheter in practice, there is always a second nurse. This means that nurse could assist with the initial cleaning and positioning so the patient remains covered until the tray is ready.

[@19530ashland]

How much more embarrassing could this procedure get,females should first ask male patients if they are comfortable with a woman doing this procedure or would they prefer a male

@@19530ashland That is an option for all patients, male or female. If this is a concern of yours you should make sure to let your care providers know. Males are still able to provide care for women, but some women strictly want a female to care for them.

I'm sorry you are sensitive to the opposite gender. Women have to deal with male doctors often, too. In my area, the male to female obgyn is 5:1. Even when I chose a female obgyn, she was busy when I went into labor. I had no option but the oncall male OBGYN to deliver. Women also require catheters during delivery, so this isn't a male centered problem. There are two videos of female catheters as well, so I don't see how this is any more embarrassing to a man. It's just health care.

[@amdguru34]

How much pain does this cause the patient? Also, what if the patient has a very small penis?

[@LevelUpRN]

This should not be a painful procedure. It is, likely, a bit uncomfortable but the catheter should be lubricated to aid in insertion. The size of the penis does not change how the procedure would be completed.
