Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The patient's penis should be cleaned with soap and water with the foreskin retracted prior to condom catheter application. The foreskin should then be returned to its natural position before the catheter is applied. Adhesive tape should never be applied around the base of the penis because circulation may be compromised. Sterile gloves and lubricant are not needed.
