  • Title: Urinary catheter management: minimizing the risk of infection.
    Author: Parker LJ.
    Journal: Br J Nurs; ; 8(9):563-6, 568, 570 passim. PubMed ID: 10711001.
    Abstract:
    With catheterization comes the risk of infection and therefore people should not be catheterized unless their clinical condition dictates that it is absolutely necessary. Nurses are responsible for both inserting catheters and the subsequent management of the catheterized patient. A high level of nursing knowledge and skill is required to achieve effective and safe management. This article continues the infection control series by reviewing the principles of catheter management with regard to controlling infection.
