Answer 1

when preparing to discharge a patient who had an indwelling urinary catheter removed 24 hours ago, the nurse would offer patient education regarding  common complication Urinary tract infection.

• Infection and growth of germs in the urinary tract (the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra). The bladder or urethra is the site of the majority of urinary tract infections. Diabetes, hormonal changes, kidney stones, an enlarged prostate, or a spinal cord injury can all raise the risk of a urinary tract infection. Other risk factors include pelvic radiation therapy or surgery, taking certain medications (such as anticancer drugs), and using a catheter to empty the bladder. Urinary tract infections are very frequent, particularly among women. Also known as UTI.

• Urinary catheters are flexible tubes that are used to empty the bladder and collect urine in a drainage bag. A doctor or nurse will generally install a urinary catheter.
