A)Draining 800 mL before clamping might cause a vasovagal response, so the charge nurse would need to intervene. Using 2% lidocaine gel 10 mL injected into the male urethra reduces discomfort during catheterization and the risk of catheter-associated infection, and it promotes pelvic muscle relaxation. A coudé-tipped catheter is passed more easily in the older man with an enlarged prostate. Sterile technique should always be used when inserting catheters.
