I can think of additional reasons for most of those questions but I'm kind of clueless about the point/purpose/response you want to your post.

Are you checking to see if RNs are aware of the answers? Of additional answers to the questions? Or just informing us of this?

Did you want us to brainstorm more answers, or are you looking for validation? I'm confused.

I disagree with the statement to clean tubing q shift, at least in regards to the catheters my facility uses. As the nurse on the infection control and prevent committee for my unit I have had extensive education on urinary catheters. My facility uses the Bard Foley catheter with the hydra-gel coating. In-dwelling urinary catheter care is indicated every 24 hours and as needed- meaning when the tubing is visibly soiled. I was specifically told manipulating and cleaning the tubing more often than indicated is actually counter productive and increases the risk of a CAUTI.

I fail to understand the purpose for this and how it's related to your MSN.

OP: you understand that random internet people may or may not be nurses, right? If you think the data you are gathering from an anonymous internet source is valid- you are sorely mistaken.
