Question

Explain the procedure of catheterization of a female patient

Answer 1

PROCEDURE: When inserting a urinary catheter, the health-care provider will first wash the hands and put on gloves and clean the skin of the area around the urethra. An anesthetic lubricating gel may be used. The catheter is threaded up the urethra and into the bladder until the urine starts to flow. The catheter is taped to the upper thigh and attached to a drainage system.
