Feedback:
Proper documentation should be done soon after catheterization of a client. Catheterization documentation should include the size and type of catheter inserted, amount of fluid instilled into the balloon, and the amount and character of urine obtained. Documenting other information, such as amount of solid food taken or type and dosage of drug administered, is unnecessary at this stage.
