مريض عليه قسطرة بولية دائمة. أي تصرف من مساعد التمريض يحتاج تصحيحاً لمنع عدوى المسالك؟

A client has an indwelling urinary catheter. Which action by the nursing assistant needs correcting to prevent a catheter-associated UTI?

1. Hanging the bag on the bed rail above bladder level during transfer
2. Checking that the tubing is not kinked or trapped under the client
3. Securing the catheter to the client’s thigh to prevent tension on the bladder
4. Emptying the bag when two-thirds full into the client’s own clean container

Answer: A) Hanging the bag on the bed rail above bladder level during transfer. Raising the bag above the bladder lets stagnant urine flow back and raises infection risk, so it must always stay below the bladder and off the floor. The other actions are part of the CAUTI prevention bundle.
