7. Question 7
   • They guide whether catheter insertion is clinically indicated
   • They require the largest catheter for reliable drainage

   • Preinflating the balloon
10. Question 10
    • Use sterile gloves and equipment while maintaining strict aseptic technique
    • Place sterile equipment on any nearby surface

11. Question 11
    • Only before opening the catheter kit
    • Only after the procedure
    • Before and after insertion and during device or site manipulation

    • Sterile gloves and sterile equipment
    • Clean gloves and a shared basin
    • Bare hands and nonsterile forceps
13. Question 13
    • As soon as the sterile kit is opened
    • After insertion, according to manufacturer instructions
    • Before the catheter is inserted
    • Before perineal care
14. Question 14
    • The balloon is intended to secure the catheter only after insertion
    • Preinflation prevents hand hygiene from being performed
    • Preinflation makes the drainage bag too small
    • Preinflation eliminates the need for perineal care
15. Question 15
    • Skip hand hygiene if the gloves remained intact
    • Wait until the end of the shift
    • Touch the drainage spigot first
    • Perform hand hygiene before continuing care
16. Question 16
    • Set the catheter on the bedside table outside the sterile field
    • Ask an assistant to handle nonsterile tasks while the inserter maintains sterility
    • Allow the patient to reposition the sterile drape
    • Use the same gloves for perineal care and catheter insertion
17. Question 17
    • Preinflate, insert, then deflate if needed
    • Inflate during perineal care, then insert
    • Inflate after the drainage bag touches the floor
    • Insert, then inflate according to manufacturer instructions
18. Question 18
    • Sterile gloves eliminate the need for hand hygiene after manipulation
    • Hand hygiene is needed only before sterile gloves are applied
    • Hand hygiene is performed before and after insertion, with sterile technique maintained during insertion
    • Aseptic technique is required only if the patient has a suspected infection
19. Question 19
    • On the floor beside the bed
    • At the same level as the bladder
    • Above the bladder to promote gravity drainage
    • Below the bladder and off the floor
20. Question 20
    • The tubing is kinked beneath the patient
    • The bag is below bladder level
    • The system is intact and unobstructed
    • The bag is secured away from the floor
21. Question 21
    • Use a separate, clean container for each patient
    • Allow the spigot to contact the floor before opening it
    • Place the drainage spigot inside the container
    • Use one shared container for all patients
22. Question 22
    • Leave it because it is below bladder level
    • Raise it above bladder level
    • Reposition it below bladder level without floor contact
    • Disconnect the entire system immediately
23. Question 23
    • Rest the spigot on the bed between patients
    • Avoid splashing and prevent spigot contact with nonsterile surfaces
    • Drain the bag onto the floor
    • Allow the spigot to touch the collecting container
24. Question 24
    • The system for kinks or other obstructions
    • Whether the bag is resting on the floor
    • Only the color of the collection bag
    • Whether the balloon was inflated before insertion
25. Question 25
    • Bag at bladder level with the spigot resting on the bed
    • Bag above the bladder with tubing coiled tightly
    • Bag below the bladder, off the floor, with tubing free of kinks
