I assume you're meaning In Dwelling Urine Catheters? Consider Does your pt really need the catheter (ie have they failed a trial of void) or are you inserting it/retaining it for your own convenience such as to avoid getting pans for your patient and having to roll them and possibly change their sheets? So long as you close curtains to insert, check, empty and remove it you should be fine. Catheters are the biggest cause of hospital acquired infections in Australia so avoid at all costs.
