Bladder retraining following removal of an indwelling catheter begins with
a) performing straight catheterization after 4 hours.
b) instructing the patient to follow a 2 to 3 hour timed voiding schedule.
c) encouraging the patient to void immediately.
d) advising the patient to avoid urinating for at least 6 hours.
Answer: b) instructing the patient to follow a 2 to 3 hour timed voiding schedule.
Immediately after the removal of the indwelling catheter, the patient is placed on a timed voiding schedule, usually 2 to 3 hours. At the given time interval, the patient is instructed to void. Immediate voiding is not usually encouraged. The patient is commonly placed on a timed voiding schedule, usually within 2 to 3 hours. Immediately after the removal of the indwelling catheter, the patient is placed on a timed voiding schedule, usually 2 to 3 hours, not 6 hours. If bladder ultrasound scanning shows 100 mL or more of urine remaining in the bladder after voiding, straight catheterization may be performed for complete bladder emptying.
