If a Foley catheter is leaking, first ensure that it is properly secured and that there are no kinks in the tubing. Check for any blockages or accidental disconnections. If the issue persists, consider assessing for catheter patency and whether the catheter size is appropriate for the patient. If problems continue, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and potential replacement.
