A, E
Feedback:
: When teaching on intermittent urinary catheterization, the nurse should instruct the mother to use warm, soapy water to wash the hands and around the child's urinary meatus. The mother should coat the tip of the catheter with a water-soluble lubricant and not petroleum jelly. The catheter should be removed gently once urine stops flowing. The catheter should be inserted approximately 3 in.
