#nursingfile
Oh!!!! Yeah, that is our nurse
What about the signed consent?
You don’t need a written consent got this
No need of signed consent for idc..
Stupid for a Facebook post.
While carrying out this procedure jokingly said i would not look .The patient said u are too old for it too matter .
This is a nursing page and if you don’t want to see nursing things then maybe you should just remove the page from your friends list. No need to be rude.
The only difference I noticed between this post, and my practice, is that we secure the catheter to the upper thigh with a stat lock device, rather than tape it to the abdomen.
I could use a tutorial on texas caths since our facility has gone to using them frequently. I have never put one on before not a condom for that matter. Co-workers laugh but in reality its NOT funny. Just some things you don’t ever get a chance to do in nursing school.
@ Sherry – I have been nursing sine 1997. We have Texas Catheters at the facility, but I do not remember since starting my career, any person having one applied. I, too, have never applied one. As you said, just some things you don’t ever get a chance to do.
Huh..procedure should be done by male nurse please
I don’t know why procedure should be done by a male nurse ?? What do you do for example at night when that patient had a globus… sorry patient i will ask a male nurse…it can take a while but i will find a male nurse in the hospital! It doesn’t seem very professional ! Although you have to help that patient.no matter if you are male or female nurse.Such a reaction means that you can not handle this procedure!
In our job as nurse we don’t create priviliges.you learnt everything during your nursing education .I hate some of them who doesn’t want to do things , just because for example : you can do that because you are a fulltime and i am not…or it has been a long time ,will you do that…
Ouch !!!’
Ok!
OH NO , on the male doing it, goes a lot smoother for me with female doing it !!!
Rokiah, we don’t necessarily do that here.
I hope that was a pre-lubed catheter.
JEEEZ Valerie, lighten up!!
If inserted improperly,it has been known to cause nerve damage to the penis. Although this is a rare occurrence.
using aseptic lubricant gel helps a lot.
@Alda: yes….there are much more BIGGER problems in the world then the things I describe , but it is taken away from the real work life …and I sadly have “experience” with that ….so ….what’s your problem ?
Did anyone notice they put the cath in dry without lubricant!!
THAT HURTS TO WATCH SOMETHING LIKE THAT
Bigger problems as you stated
I hope for you that they will be solved
ThankYou
My husband was in the hospital & needed a catheter placed so I stepped out to give him some privacy. The nurse did not use a kit. She used no antiseptic, nor any lubricant. She forced the catheter in causing severe pain & trauma. She did not even have an assistant or stand-by. I was furious at the lack of protocol & poor technique!
Oh, if there isn’t a standind protocol, ask the doctor if you can use lidocaine jelly. Your patient will thank you!
Lidocaine gel is standard of care in my facility. It eases insertion and decreases discomfort for the patient. One also needs to consider which type of catheter you use. Inserting catheters in Males with enlarged prostates can be easier if using a curved tip catheter or a slightly stiffer device made of silicone.
I remember those days of clinicals!
Yea this is so painful to put cathetter to a men,its my part of job sorry to say but poor men need this specially elderly,xx
Sure if that’s all you need to do for the day! Looks like it would take a 12 hour shift to insert one with these steps!
Awww Gracie, we just need Paul to do them all!
Debbie you said you stepped out how do you know what she did or didn’t use.
We always use a kit , but there is no “instillagel” in the kit.If you don’t use it , it hurt and it makes the job also not easy.with a female catheterisation we not always use the gel , but always with men !
I also don’t understand why lot of people makes a problem of it….in our education (Belgium) you learn this in the 2 nd year of nursing school .you have also a practical exam and a checklist of manuel things you may practice and must know at the end of the year and it is also a examination question.
Small amount of lubrication only needed cuz if you put plenty of lubricant…there is possibility that the tip of the catheter be blocked….
