How do you provide catheter care?

To provide catheter care, begin by washing your hands thoroughly before and after handling the catheter. Clean the area around the catheter insertion site with mild soap and water or an antiseptic solution, ensuring to follow specific guidelines provided by a healthcare professional. Secure the catheter to prevent tugging and ensure that the drainage bag is positioned below the bladder level to prevent backflow. Regularly monitor for signs of infection, leakage, or blockage and report any concerns to a healthcare provider.
