Hey, I'm a brand new nurse (working for 2 months), and I made a mistake. I discharge a patient with a Foley catheter as ordered. I got him the leg bag and a foley bag for bedtime. I got his paperwork signed and he left. The one thing I forgot to give him is the syringes for him to remove it. I didn't realize it until the day after the d/c. What should I do? Should I panic? Please let me know how to deal with the situation because this is the first time that happen to me.
