Routine hygiene (e.g. cleansing of the meatal surface during daily bathing or showering) is appropriate. Empty the drainage bag regularly, at least every shift and as needed. Changing indwelling catheters or drainage bags at routine, fixed intervals is not recommended. Rather, it is suggested to change catheters and drainage bags based on clinical indications such as infection, obstruction, or when the closed system is compromised. Catheter irrigation may be ordered to prevent obstruction in residents at risk for obstruction. Observe residents for complications associated with urinary catheters.
