Resident Observation- Catheter

LTCSP Initial Pool Care Areas Tabs
  • Does the resident have a urinary catheter in place? 

  • Is the catheter tubing properly secured, unobstructed and free of kinks? 

  • Is the catheter drainage bag maintained below the level of the bladder?  

  • Is the catheter drainage bag off the floor at all times (i.e., do not place directly on the floor without protection from the floor surface)? 

  • Are there signs and symptoms of infection (e.g., foul smelling urine, sediment, blood or mucus)? 

  • If the situation presents itself, is the catheter drainage bag emptied using a separate, clean collection container for each resident, and does the drainage spigot touches the collection container?
