94 Words1 Page

Patient was given perineal care prior to the straight catheterization, which is performed every four hours. Beforehand, the cna had a bladder scan on the patient and there was 321 milliliters of urine left in the bladder. During the process of inserting the straight catheter, the patient was asked to take a deep breath while they inserted the catheter through the urethra.

Working in the labor and delivery department, we rarely have patients that require an IV site for more than 24-48 hours.

    Evidence based practice is a big part of the medical field and what we as nurses use to take care of patients in the hospital. An example would be the sterilization technique of catheterization and the importance of pericare before inserting a catheter into a patient. Sterilization technique ensures that there is no introduction of bacterial agents that may cause serious infectious such as sepsis, and death. Even if a nurse is using the best devices, it does not matter without proper sanitary care (The Fight Against UTIs Continues, 2011).

    As a nursing student, I need to ensure I am performing my tasks, including perineal care, to the highest standard, and addressing areas of concern that I observe during my shifts.

Improper perineal care following incontinence can lead to painful skin irritation, UTIs, and pressure sores.
