Pt. D/C with foley, give leg bag. I don't remember the full order since it was done about 3 days ago. I'm off right now. He sees the doctor in 3 days, he was discharged a couple of days ago. The patient knows how to take care of the Foley.

Okay, thanks. I've been having spikes of panic ever since I started my job. I may have done everything right, but I always have that doubt that creeps in during my off days. Is that normal for a new nurse to experience this?

It didn't say for him to remove foley until he sees the urologist to help examine the urine.

Hey, y'all. Thank you so much for the comments. In the hospital we work in, we do d/c patients with foleys. The patient is seeing the urologist in that week, so he could call the dr if he has questions. We do remove IVs before patients leave. I'm still learning as much as I can, for I'm a new nurse. I'll do my best. :)

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.
