NNAAP California Nurse Aides - Free Test Sample Questions

Which of the following statements about an indwelling catheter is inaccurate?

Correct Answer:
the drainage bag should rest on the floor.
the question is asking to identify which statement about an indwelling catheter is incorrect.

firstly, "a closed drainage system is used for an indwelling catheter." this statement is accurate. an indwelling catheter typically involves a closed drainage system which helps prevent infection by maintaining a sterile pathway for urine to flow from the bladder into a collection bag.

the statement "the drainage bag should rest on the floor" is inaccurate. for maintaining proper hygiene and functionality of the catheter system, it is critical that the drainage bag does not touch the floor. allowing the bag to rest on the floor can increase the risk of contamination with pathogens, which can then travel up the tubing and lead to infections such as urinary tract infections (utis).

the correct practice, as outlined in the explanation, is to hang the drainage bag from a secure spot such as the bed frame, chair, or wheelchair of the patient. it is essential that the bag is positioned lower than the level of the patient’s bladder to facilitate gravity drainage and prevent urine from flowing back into the bladder, which could also lead to infections. however, despite being lower than the bladder, care must be taken to ensure the bag is off the floor to maintain the system's cleanliness and functionality.

thus, the correct answer to the question is: "the drainage bag should rest on the floor." this statement is inaccurate because proper protocol dictates that the drainage bag should hang securely in a position lower than the bladder but not in contact with the floor.
