The Ultimate Catheter Care Framework
Want to solve these faster? Stop treating every problem like it's brand new. Every problem follows the exact same architectural rules.
The Rule: A Foley catheter bag must always remain below the level of the bladder. If placed on the bed, urine flows backwards, causing severe Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTI).
The Exception (Do Not Do This): placing the drainage bag on the bed.
Lock that framework into your brain and you will never need to cram this topic again.
