A nurse is reinforcing teaching with a client about intermittent catheterization to measure residual urine. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Choice A Reason: Choice B Reason: Inflating a catheter balloon is typically not part of intermittent catheterization, as it is more commonly associated with indwelling catheters. Choice C Reason: There is no need for the client to restrict fluid intake before or after intermittent catheterization. In fact, adequate hydration is generally encouraged. Choice D Reason: Intermittent catheterization involves inserting a catheter into the bladder to empty it completely, typically to measure residual urine. Before performing intermittent catheterization, it's essential for the client to try to urinate naturally to ensure that the bladder is as empty as possible. This step helps to provide accurate measurements of residual urine and reduces the risk of complications. Therefore, the nurse should include this information in the teaching to ensure the client understands the procedure's proper preparation. While the use of a leg bag to collect urine may be part of the overall management plan, it is not specific to the teaching about preparing for intermittent catheterization.
