I have a question about inserting a foley into a male patient:
I am a currently a nursing extern and have inserted a foley into 2 males patients, both patients I hit the prostate and could go no further (hit resistance). I pulled back a little but when advancing the cath I hit resistance again. I was told there is one spot where the cath can go into the prostate area and will not be advanced into the bladder.
I am wondering how to avoid this, in school they tell you it's easy, it's one hole, but in real life I haven't had urine come into the tubing yet!!
