مريض عنده قسطرة فوق العانة منذ أشهر. أي إجراء صحيح للعناية؟

A client has had a suprapubic catheter for months. Which care is correct?

1. Clean the skin around it daily with soap and water and dry it
2. Clamp the catheter all night to train the bladder
3. Pull the catheter slightly each day to stop it adhering
4. Apply talcum powder around the site to absorb moisture

Answer: A) Clean the skin around it daily with soap and water and dry it. Clean and dry the site daily, secure the tubing to prevent traction and keep the bag below the bladder; powder and traction irritate the skin.
