Management of urinary retention: rapid versus gradual decompression and risk of complications

Don't nurses practice gradual urinary bladder decompression anymore? My elderly patient had about 1000 ml in his bladder and the charge nurse did rapid decompression using Foley cath. Is it evidence based practice? I am a new grad. Thanks.
