What to teach patient after foley catheter is removed?
Foley Catheter IntroductionA Foley catheter is a thin, sterile tube inserted into your bladder to drain urine. Because it can be left in place in the bladder for a period of time, it is also called an indwelling catheter. It is held in place with a balloon at the end, which is filled with sterile water to hold it in place. The urine drains into a bag and can then be taken from an outlet device to be drained.

A Foley catheter is used with many disorders, procedures, or problems such as these:Retention of urine leading to urinary hesitancy, straining to urinate, decrease in size and force of the urinary stream, interruption of urinary stream, and sensation of incomplete emptyingObstruction of the urethra by an anatomical condition that makes it difficult for you to urinate: prostate hypertrophy, prostate cancer, or narrowing of the urethraUrine output monitoring in a critically ill or injured personCollection of a sterile urine specimen for diagnostic purposesNerve-related bladder dysfunction, such as after spinal trauma (A catheter can be inserted regularly to assist with urination.)Imaging study of the lower urinary tractAfter surgery
