  • Author

This elderly patient(82) was admitted to a hospital and catheterized (indwelling catheter).

so, what things would you be telling to her- in terms of patient education?

  • Experts

Read the information on the weblinks. Think about the maintenance care you would be doing with the catheter. Think about what you would do if connected to a 5 or 6 inch tube with a bag draining your urine at the end of it. How would it restrict the way you did things? Much of this is based on common sense.
