The nurse anticipates a suprapubic catheter for which patient?
a. A patient with recent prostatectomy
b. A patient with a urethral stricture
c. A patient with an appendectomy
d. A patient with menopause
ANS: B
A patient with a urethral stricture is most likely to have a suprapubic catheter. Suprapubic catheters are placed when there is blockage of the urethra (e.g., enlarged prostate, urethral stricture, after urological surgery). A patient with a recent prostatectomy indicates the enlarged prostate was removed and would not need a suprapubic catheter; however, continuous bladder irrigation may be needed. Appendectomies and menopause do not require a suprapubic catheter.
