At least she didn't use Dermabond....:coollook:

In all seriousness though, that's just not cool.:stone I personally don't care for those condom caths-they never fit right.

Hope the patient is OK.

Luckily he fell back to snoozing while I worked the tape off...well at least that is what I am assuming for my own sense of comfort.

During the first few weeks of my first clinical of nursing school, the nurse told us we were going to put a condom cath on a patient. Well the condom wouldn't stay on, so I whipped out my tape and said "let's tape it!"... the nurses looked at me in horror. :) I wasn't thinking at the time.
