No woman should be performing this on a male patient without the patient being given the option of male nurse this a job for someone of same gender,She leaves him displayed like something in butcher shop window no respect for patients modesty
@@christopher63234 the comment was nothing to do with your equility problems,it was totally about comfort level and modesty of male patients.Some males do not want to be exposed to female nurses it is or right to have gender specific care just like women have achieved.I don’t care how skilled a female nurse is I only want male nurses to deal with intimate areas of my body
@@19530ashland That is an option for all patients, male or female. If this is a concern of yours you should make sure to let your care providers know. Males are still able to provide care for women, but some women strictly want a female to care for them. Men can also state that they are uncomfortable with a women handling them, and ask for strictly male care.
I'm sorry you are sensitive to the opposite gender. Women have to deal with male doctors often, too. In my area, the male to female obgyn is 5:1. Even when I chose a female obgyn, she was busy when I went into labor. I had no option but the oncall male OBGYN to deliver. Women also require catheters during delivery, so this isn't a male centered problem. There are two videos of female catheters as well, so I don't see how this is any more embarrassing to a man. It's just health care.
@@garycole6504 no, it really can’t. It’s a lubricated flexible tube going into another lubricated flexible tube. The only trauma that can be caused is if the balloon is inflated in the urethra but that’s basically impossible when you know what you’re doing.
@@garycole6504 no, you really can’t. If you could, there’d be an abundance of studies about it. But wait, there’s a grand total of 0 studies. So your point is moot.
The syringe with lubricant is not sterilized. After using it, your right hand is not sterilized, too. Then you touch the sterilized urinary catheter , and the urinary catheter cannot be sterilized before inserting patient’s urethra. This procedure should be “Violation of aseptic operation principles”.
@@TheTimGreepulling on the syringe can cause more pressure which puts more potential stress on the urethra when most of the fluid would enter the syringe without pulling. (Sometimes tho there’s 1-2ml still left and that’s when I was taught to gently pull)
Ashley, if I'm retrieving a sample after the initial insertion it would be considered a clean procedure. You swab the port with an alcohol swab, withdraw urine using a luer lock syringe, and deposit the urine into a specimen cup. - Ellis
Damn was it like painful to where it hurts the whole time they insert it or just when it gets inserted? And they don't numb the area or give u pain killers and if you don't mind me asking what was it for?@@floydmayweather9750
@@LevelUpRN .i think you women enjoy our discomfort.same sex gender would be nice but you females make us feel small for asking where as you women get same gender care without question.think you women love the power.
It would be helpful to do a video on the proper way to hold the penis for a circumcised first uncircumcised patient. A video on just the proper way to pull it. I know you hold it at a 90° angle but what’s the best technique to hold it.
When you check the order, does the provider decide the size of the foley and include it in the order or does the provider reccomended the size and the nurse uses judgement to select the right size? By size I mean both diameter and length. I only did one, once, a while ago and can't remember that fact. Thank you!
Generally speaking, a partitioner order includes the recommended size/diameter (12 to 16 Fr) which are often also a standard length. That being said, if the nurse encounters an issue (urine leaking around the tubing), it becomes a team effort to determine the right size for that patient. If the patient is experiencing clotting, obstruction, or some type of trauma or disorder then the partitioner would likely order something more specific (e.g., a larger diameter to drain clots or blood). Pediatric catheters are, of course, much smaller in diameter, length, and balloon size.
@@LevelUpRN Glad you answered this as it is a real concern, especially for those of us with less experience. Not just for the provider but for the patient as well. Should we first mention this to the patient beforehand so as to limit his angst?
Why are male nurses not performing this task instead of embarrassing the male patients All to often male patients are confronted by females and not given the option of same sex care that women get.That’s like wondering if women get excited when up on stirrups at gynaecologist,sure some do but doubt many
Why is the patient left exposed so long . The package should have been opened and ready for the inserting. Bad enough for the man to be embarrassed by the situation, no concern by the nurse . Men are human, not an object .
Patient privacy is a priority during care. For this video, the patient was cleaned and positioned first. This is because the catheter tray contents are sterile and handling the patient after opening the tray posed a sterility concern. However, when inserting a catheter in practice, there is always a second nurse. This means that nurse could assist with the initial cleaning and positioning so the patient remains covered until the tray is ready.
How much more embarrassing could this procedure get,females should first ask male patients if they are comfortable with a woman doing this procedure or would they prefer a male
@@19530ashlandso as a male nursing student, I need to learn on both males & females. The patient is left exposed for so long because once you open the kit they need to already be exposed so that you aren’t turning away from your sterile field.
This should not be a painful procedure. It is, likely, a bit uncomfortable but the catheter should be lubricated to aid in insertion. The size of the penis does not change how the procedure would be completed.
