Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN Functional Concept ® LET’S Catheterization process is a STERILE PROCESS. THE STEPS FUNCTIONAL CONCEPT ® IS A REGISTERED TRADEMARK OF THE RAY A. GAPUZ TEST PREP SYSTEM The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN CATHETERIZATION 1. Explain the process to the client before beginning. Most clients are not used to inserting any object, let alone a long tube, into their urethra. Though this isn't always described as "painful", it is often described as "uncomfortable", even intensely so. Out of respect for the client, explain the steps of the procedure to him or her before beginning. Explaining the steps and what to expect can also help the client relax and avoid anxiety. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN 2. Ask the client to lie on his or her back. CATHETERIZATION The client's legs should be spread and his or her feet should be together. Lying in a supine position relaxes the bladder and urethra, facilitating easier catheter insertion. A tense urethra compresses the catheter, which results in resistance during insertion, causing pain and sometimes even damage to the underlying tissue of the urethra. In severe cases, this may cause bleeding. Assist the client in getting into the supine position if necessary. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN 8 21/01/2025 The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN 3. Wash hands and put on sterile gloves. CATHETERIZATION Gloves are an important part of the PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) health care workers use to protect themselves and the client during medical procedures. In the case of catheter insertion, sterile gloves help ensure that bacteria are not introduced into the urethra and that the client's bodily fluids do not come into contact with your hands. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN 4. Open the catheter assembly. Some catheters also have specialized tips that allow them to serve different functions. For instance, a type of catheter called a Foley catheter Single-use catheters come in sealed, sterile kits. Before opening the is usually used for draining urine because it includes a balloon kit, ensure you have the correct catheter for your purposes. You will attachment which can be inflated to secure the catheter behind the need a catheter that is the correct size for your client. Catheters are bladder neck. rated for size in units called French (1 French = 1/3 mm) and are available in sizes from 12 (small) to 48 (large) French. Smaller Also gather medical-grade disinfectant, cotton swabs, surgical drapes, catheters are usually better for the client's comfort, but larger lubricant, water, tubing, drainage bag and tape. All should be properly catheters may be necessary to drain thick urine or to ensure the cleaned and/or sterilized. catheter stays in place. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN CATHETERIZATION 5. Sterilize and prepare the client's genital area. Scrub the client's genital area with disinfectant-soaked cotton swabs. Rinse or scrub the area with sterile water or alcohol to remove any debris. Repeat as needed. When finished, lay down surgical drapes around the genitals, leaving a space for access to the penis or vagina. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN 9 21/01/2025 The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN INSERTING THE CATHETER For female clients, be sure to clean the labia and urethral meatus (the outside of the opening of the urethra located above the vagina). For men, clean the urethral opening on the penis. Cleaning should be done from inside to outside so as not to contaminate the urethra. In other words, start at the urethral opening and gently work your way outward in a circular fashion. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN 6. Apply lubricant to the tip of the catheter. CATHETERIZATION Coat the distal portion of the catheter (the 2-5 cm portion at the tip) with a generous amount of lubricant. This is the end you will insert into the urethral opening. If using a balloon catheter, be sure to lubricate the balloon portion at the tip as well. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A.

If the client is male, hold the penis and insert the catheter into the open and insert the catheter into the urethral opening. urethral meatus. Hold the penis in your non-dominant hand and gently pull upward, Hold the catheter in your dominant perpendicular to the client's body. Insert the tip of the catheter into hand and use your non-dominant the client's urethra with your dominant hand. hand to spread the client's labia so that you are able to see the urethral opening. Gently insert the tip of the catheter into the urethra. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN 10 21/01/2025 The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN CATHETERIZATION 8. Continue pushing until the catheter sits in the bladder. The length of the catheter should be gently fed through the urethra and into the bladder until urine is observed. After urine begins to flow, continue to push the catheter into the bladder another 2 inches to make sure the catheter is against the neck of the bladder. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN 9. If using a balloon catheter, inflate the balloon with sterile water. The amount of sterile water you use to inflate the balloon depends on the size of the balloon on the catheter. Use a water-filled syringe to inflate the balloon via sterile tubing connected to the catheter. The inflated balloon serves as an anchor Usually, about 10 cc of water is required, but check the size of your so as not to displace the catheter when moving. Once inflated, pull balloon to be sure. gently on the catheter to ensure the balloon is seated snugly against the neck of the bladder. © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for the PNLE RN MALE CATHETERIZATION 10. Connect the catheter to the drainage bag. Use sterile medical tubing to allow urine to drain into a drainage bag. Secure the catheter to the client's thigh or abdomen with tape. Make sure you place the drainage bag lower than the client's bladder. Catheters work via gravity - urine can't drain "uphill". © The Ray A. Gapuz Test Prep System for PNLE RN 11 21/01/2025 The Ray A.
