Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Nursing Practice

Background:

  • Urinary catheterization is a common clinical procedure.
  • Appropriate use of urinary catheters is debated, with concerns about use for clinical convenience over necessity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the nursing process for safe and clinically relevant urinary catheterization.
  • To provide guidance on appropriate catheter use and technique.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the nursing process in urinary catheterization.
  • Discussion of local algorithms and protocols for catheterization.
  • Examination of correct catheterization techniques and available catheter types.

Main Results:

  • Clinicians may sometimes use urinary catheters for ease of management rather than strict clinical indication.
