Response 5. Place a sterile drape under the buttocks of the female or penis of the male without contaminating the center of the drape.
Correct Answer: 5,2,4,3,1
The nurse places the sterile drape before applying gloves because the nurse would contaminate sterile gloves in the process of placing the drape. After the drape is in place, the nurse dons sterile gloves and organizes the supplies in the catheter kit. The nurse tests the balloon of the indwelling catheter (if recommended by the manufacturer), and then cleans the meatus in preparation for insertion.
