INSERTING A FOLEY CATHETER ON A MALE PATIENT/SKILL DEMO

In this video I demonstrate how to insert an indwelling Foley catheter on a male patient. I also discuss how to discontinue a catheter and provide sample documentation. This is a fundamental nursing skill.
Follow along and study by answering these questions.
1. What are the first 3 things we always do before we do skill?
2. Who might not be able to bend their knees?
3. What are standard catheter sizes for adults?
4. How do you know how far to insert the catheter?
5. Why might you encounter resistance when inserting the tubing?
6. Why don’t we want the tube under the patient’s leg?
7. Where are the two places that tell us the size of the catheter?

Got a video request? Let me know in the comments below.
