If the client catheter is not draining, first assess for any visible kinks or bends in the tubing that may obstruct flow. Check the drainage bag to ensure it is positioned below the level of the bladder. If no issues are found, gently irrigate the catheter with sterile saline as per protocol. If the problem persists, notify the healthcare provider for further evaluation and intervention.
