MCQs on Foley's Catheterization explained here with rationales. It will be helpful for nurses and medical professionals
Transcript
00:00Hi friends, welcome back to the nurse. In today's video, we are diving into some high yield MCQs on
00:06Foley's catheterization. Perfect for nursing exams and clinical practice. If you want to
00:14quick revision, clear explanation and smart rationales, you are in the right place. Let's
00:19get started. First question. The primary purpose of using a Foley's catheter is to measure
00:27respiratory rate, continuous drainage of urine to administer IV medications to measure blood
00:34pressure. The correct answer here, continuous drainage of urine. That is a primary purpose
00:42of Foley's catheterization. Foley's catheter is used for continuous urinary drainage. Some
00:49other functions also there, that is relieve urinary retention, monitor urinary output in critical
00:56care, manage incontinence, collect sterile urine sample, instill bladder medications, perform
01:02bladder irrigations. These are other purposes of Foley's catheterization. Second question,
01:09which part of the Foley's catheter is used to inflate the balloon? Distal tip, drainage lumen,
01:16inflation port, catheter hub. Correct answer here, inflation port. There is two distal ports
01:24are there that one is for drainage lumen, another is inflation port. So here, this is a portal proximal
01:34tip that is entering into bladder. And this is a balloon that will hold the Foley's catheter
01:40inside the bladder. These are the distal tips. So this is used to work this red color tip is
01:47used for inflation of balloon. And another tip is used to drain the urine.
01:56What solution is recommended for inflating the balloon? Normal saline, sterile water, distilled
02:02water, ringers, lactate. Correct answer is sterile water. Why sterile water means, usually if saline is
02:12used means, there is a chance for crystallization and block the tube. So best solution to install the
02:20balloon, that is sterile water.
02:26Third question, a male patient requests catheterization, which size is used? 6 to 8 French,
02:3210 to 12 French, 14 to 16 French, 20 to 24 French.
02:36Correct answer, 14 to 16 French, that is used for adult males. So what is the color, color
02:45codes for 14 to 16? That is 14 size is a green color and 16 size is orange color. This is usually
02:52used for adult male.
02:54So in this case, we will do, we will do, leave us a landmark and use a new sterile catheter.
03:21So why it is making landmark because to avoid same mistake again. And also we need to use
03:29a new sterile catheter next day. Prevent, it will prevent contamination and repeat the mistake.
03:38Fifth question, most important action during insertion, what is catheterization?
03:43Lubricate balloon site, maintain aseptic technique, inflate balloon before insertion, keep patient supine.
03:49Correct answer here, maintain aseptic technique. Because police catheterization is a sterile procedure,
03:56we should maintain an assertive technique throughout the procedure.
04:02It will prevent catheter associated urinary tract infection. So if we are not maintaining a sterile
04:09technique, it will cause a urinary tract infection. A catheter associated urinary tract infection
04:16refers urinary tract infection that occurs in a person who has a urinary catheter in place.
04:24Police catheter being indwelling are common source of a catheter associated urinary tract infection,
04:30if not managed with proper hygiene and care.
04:33Best method to prevent catheter associated urinary tract infection.
04:41Fluid restriction, routine three-day change, closed drainage system, bag at bladder level.
04:47Correct answer here, closed drainage system. Because it is a sterile procedure,
04:58we need to maintain closed drainage system to avoid entering of microorganisms from outside.
05:07Closed drainage system prevents bacterial entry from outside.
05:10Closed drainage system is a sterile procedure, which is a sterile procedure.
05:13Seventh question, balloon should be inflated only after.
05:16Inserted one to centimeter, one to two centimeter in miatus,
05:20urine flow seen, patient discomfort, catheter type.
05:25Correct answer, urine flow seen.
05:28After seeing the urine flow, we can inflate the catheter.
05:35So it will confirm the bladder placement.
05:39Eighth question, essential infection control when emptying bag.
05:44Empty when half full, bag above bladder, touch drainage spout, wipe spout with alcohol.
05:53Correct answer, wipe spout with alcohol.
05:57Spout means that tube that we use to drain the urine.
06:02The lower side one tube will be there to drain urine.
06:06That we need to clean with alcohol before and after the emptying of urine.
06:14Wipe spout with alcohol will prevent contamination.
06:20So this is a spout, we need to clear first with the spirit.
06:25After emptying again, we need to clear it and close it.
06:32Last question, cause of bladder spasms in police catheterization.
06:38Balloon under inflation, balloon over inflation, catheter blockage, catheter too small.
06:44The current answer is balloon over inflation.
06:48Balloon over inflation, it will irritate the bladder bone that will lead to bladder spasm.
06:56So if it is inflated, each catheter has specific amount of water has to be inflated.
07:05If otherwise, it will cause bladder inflation, bladder spasm.
07:08So that is about today's video.
07:11Thank you for watching this video.
07:13If you have any doubt, means you can ask in comment section.
07:17So thank you.
07:18Bye.
07:28Bye.
