How can you shower having catheter?
A man can still SHOWER at home, he just can't completely submerge the penis or the catheter in the water. Using a soapy rag, clean the outside of the tube leading from the penis, and very lightly go around the head of the penis, down the shaft, and to the base. Rinse VERY well, being careful not to pull on the catheter tubing. That's how they taught us in Nurses aid class...

How do you collect fresh fractional urine specimen?
There should be a port at the end of the catheter where the tubing attaches to the catheter bag. Wipe with alcohol and, with a needle and syringe, insert the needle into the port and withdraw 10cc-20cc or so. Without a needle, you can take it from the bag itself, but the sample won't be as pure. You can also disconnect the catheter from the tubing and extract a sample, but this increases infection risk. If so, get a sterile container, wipe the entire area where the catheter meets the tubing with alcohol, put the catheter into the container, and hopefully you'll get about 5cc-10cc. When you reconnect, be very careful not to touch the inside of the catheter. This line runs straight into the person's bladder, and thus is a risk for bladder infection.

How is foley catheter removed?
RelaxRemoving a foley catheter from a man is no different than a woman. Practice standard precautions while performing this. 1. Take a 10-ml syringe and deflate the catheter bulb. After pulling back on the plunger to obtain fluid, leave the syringe attached. Sometimes additional fluid will continue to slowly leak out of the balloon. Do not be concerned if you do not get more than about 5 - 6 mls, the remainder is in the catheter tubing.2. Take a small washcloth and hold it under the penis at the meatus. As you remove the catheter some urine may flow out with it, and you will want to catch this from wetting the patient or bed.3. Inform the patient, "I'm going to pull this out... take a few deep breaths". The removal is not normally painful.4. Pull out quickly and smoothly. If urine was still in the drainage bag measure and empty, then dispose of tubing and bag in the biohazardous trash.Ayraayra: actually if you don't get the full amount of fluid back into the syringe you should be concerned. Chances are it's still in the balloon and if you try to pull the catheter out while the balloon is still partially inflated you could end up doing tissue damage. If you don't get all the fluid out try again.

What is an instrument used to inspect the urinary bladder?
The most commonly used device for urinary catheterization is the transurethral catheter which is a flexible tubing that is passed through the urethra until the tip is within the bladder and urine flow is established. The Foley catheter has a balloon at the tip which can be inflated with water to prevent the catheter from dislodging spontaneously. In emergency situations where a catheter cannot be passed transurethrally either because of severe obstruction or risk of further urinary tract injury, such as with an acute pelvic fracture with an associated urethral laceration, a suprapubic catheter can be passed into the bladder through a small incision made in the skin above the pubic bone.
