An independent patient receives an indwelling catheter. What should the nurse teach the patient in caring for the catheter? Option A Cloudy urine is considered normal with an indwelling catheter due to skin sloughing. Option B Clean the catheter starting at the urethra and working outward. Option C Try to avoid drinking too much water so the bag does not overflow. Option D Bedrest is required for patients with an indwelling catheter, so the tubing does not kink.
