Client, Mary Smith, DOB 4/27/1976, was admitted to your unit yesterday with a bladder infection related to the neurogenic bladder. The client is part of your assignment today and she is due for her 10 a.m. medication. You go to see her to administer her medication, and she is complaining of feeling like she needs to urinate but has been unable to void since this morning at 5:30 a.m. You review the client’s chart and find these orders:
If the client has not voided within 4 hours, use a bladder scanner to check the residual amount.
If residual is > 200mL then perform intermittent urinary catheterization.
You use the bladder scanner and see that there is 400mL urine in the bladder. Following the provider’s orders, you perform an intermittent urinary catheterization using a sterile technique.
