The need for best practice in catheterization

Abstract:
Catheterization is a common procedure undertaken hundreds of times every day in a variety of healthcare settings. It is estimated that approximately 25% of the 9 million adults treated by the NHS every year will be catheterized at some point (Nazarko, 2009). The majority of these catheterizations are performed by nurses and nursing students. As this is such a common procedure, it is very easy to become complacent and blasé, yet this is one of the most intimate procedures that we, as nurses, can carry out.
