Care bundles are a short, focused list of essential aspects of care. They most commonly address a safety risk, such as urinary tract infections associated with catheters. Actions such as using standard precautions, cleansing the client's meatus, and evaluating the need for the catheter help reduce the risk. Frequent replacement and irrigation of the catheter are likely to increase the risk of infection and would be excluded from a care bundle.
