How do you position a patient for care with indwelling catheter?

When positioning a patient with an indwelling catheter, ensure they are in a comfortable, supine or semi-reclined position to promote drainage and minimize discomfort. The catheter bag should be placed below the level of the bladder to prevent backflow and reduce the risk of infection. Additionally, ensure the tubing is secured to the leg to prevent tugging and maintain a straight pathway for urine flow. Always maintain patient privacy and dignity during positioning and care.
