Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The drainage tubing should be secured to the resident's inner thigh using a catheter holder or leg strap. This helps prevent accidental dislodging or pulling of the catheter, which could cause discomfort or introduce infection risk. Securing to the bed frame, mattress, or bottom linens is not recommended as it can cause tension on the catheter, increasing the risk of trauma or infection.
