Feedback:
A tip catheter should be used in female catheterization if there is abnormal placement of the urinary meatus. Other catheters, such as the Foley catheter and straight catheter, can be used in clients who do not have abnormal placement of the urinary meatus. A Foley catheter is also known as an indwelling catheter.
