Can a CNA place or remove a foley catheter?

Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) are generally not permitted to place or remove Foley catheters, as these procedures require specialized training and skills typically reserved for licensed healthcare professionals, such as nurses or doctors. CNAs may assist with related tasks, such as providing care to patients with catheters, monitoring output, or reporting any issues to nursing staff. Always check specific state regulations and facility policies, as they may vary.
