A nurse is preparing to remove an indwelling urinary catheter from a client. In what order should the nurse perform the following steps? (Move the steps into the box on the right, placing them in the order of performance. Use all the steps.)

B. Don clean gloves: The nurse should first don clean gloves to ensure proper hygiene and to reduce the risk of infection during the procedure. This protects both the client and the nurse from any potential contamination. E. Attach the syringe to the balloon injection port: After gloves are on, the next step is to attach the syringe to the balloon injection port of the catheter. This is the part where sterile fluid (usually saline) was used to inflate the balloon that keeps the catheter in place. C. Withdraw the solution from the balloon: Once the syringe is attached, the nurse slowly withdraws the fluid from the balloon. This is necessary to deflate the balloon, which allows the catheter to be removed easily and without causing injury to the urethral canal. A. Slowly pull the catheter out of urethral canal: After the balloon is deflated, the nurse gently and slowly pulls the catheter out of the urethral canal. This should be done carefully to avoid causing trauma to the urethra and surrounding tissues. The catheter should be removed in a smooth, controlled motion. D. Dry the perineal area: After the catheter is removed, the nurse should clean and dry the perineal area to ensure hygiene. This step helps prevent skin irritation and infection after the catheter removal, ensuring that the area is properly cared for and free of moisture.
