To reduce the risk of catheter-associated urinary tract infection, how should the technician position the urinary drainage bag?
a.On the bed next to the patient
b.Below the level of the bladder at all times
c.Hooked to the upper side rail
d.At the same height as the bladder
Explicación
The urinary drainage bag is kept below the level of the bladder so urine flows down and away by gravity, preventing backflow into the bladder. The bag should never touch the floor or be raised above the bladder. Keeping the tubing free of kinks also promotes proper drainage.
