I was reading through some procedures about Foley catheter insertion and it tells me that for male patients I should insert it all the way up to the bifurcation to make sure that it is in the bladder. The next steps are inflating the balloon and then securing the catheter. It seems like this is missing the step where I should gently pull the inflated catheter back until I feel a little resistance at the bladder sphincter. Am I correct that this should be performed and the procedures I'm reading are just missing the step? Or is it common practice to leave it inserted all the way to the bifurcation before securing it?
