Which statement best describes the PCT role in urine and catheter care?

Cleaning the perineal area, monitoring intake, and reporting changes

Cleaning the cath, removing the cath, applying an external catheter, cleaning the perineal area, watching for signs of infection, tracking the appearance of urine, and tracking the amount

The main idea is that a PCT caring for urine and catheters combines hands-on care with careful monitoring and clear communication to prevent infection and track output. The best statement reflects doing catheter care (cleaning around the catheter and the catheter itself), managing an external catheter if needed, keeping the perineal area clean, watching for signs of infection, and accurately tracking how the urine looks and how much is produced, while promptly reporting any changes to the nurse. This covers both maintaining skin integrity and catheter hygiene, as well as gathering and relaying important data about urine appearance and intake/output. It also aligns with the expectation that PCTs observe for infection indicators and communicate changes rather than focusing only on education or performing catheter removal without appropriate supervision.

Replacing the catheter independently and securing a new catheter
