Thank you for the thorough demonstration. One issue/area I didn't see addressed is that it may take several minutes for enough urine to accumulate after being clamped. Other procedures I have seen indicate to clamp the Foley tubing immediately distal to the collection port for 15-30 minutes prior to collecting; this allows urine to accumulate in the bladder so it can be aspirated. Otherwise, if the bladder is being completely drained by the Foley in place, there won't be enough urine in the bladder to collect. Am I missing something about this in your demonstration?
Thank you for your insightful comment, @s.landers8190! 😊 You're absolutely right-clamping the Foley tubing for 15-30 minutes before collecting the specimen allows enough urine to accumulate. We'll be sure to include this important step in future demonstrations. Don't forget to subscribe for more helpful nursing tips! 🔔👩⚕️
I appreciate the extra wording. New nurse here and prefer a step by step. There’s a lot to cover in nursing school and after a while if you don’t practice it you tend to forget parts of it. 😅 being out in the field is so different.
