You watch the urine drain into the bag and note that the amount is approaching 500 mL
What do you do at this time?
What will be an ideal response?
Be sure you know the institutional policy regarding the amount of urine that can be drained from
the bladder at one time. Some policies restrict the amount of urine because of the belief that rapid
decompression of the bladder can lead to a vasovagal response with unstable BP and bladder
spasms. However, there is no evidence to support this practice. If there is a restriction, amounts vary
from 500 to 1000 mL. Otherwise, allow the bladder to empty fully.
