A client who was involved in an MVA which resulted in paraplegia is working toward living at home. The client is currently developing an individualized CIC schedule, preferring not to wear a leg bag.

What is the maximum amount of urine the client should allow to collect before catheterization.

The answer is 350mL of urine.

Ideally,before catheterization,the amount of urine that should be in the bladder should be between 400-600mls,but in the case of the client who has paraplegia and already developing a clean intermittent catheterization, there is risk of developing oedema as a result of impaired mobility if copious fluid is given, and incontinence due to paraplegia and loss of muscle control, 350mls should be allowed to collect in the urinary bladder before catheterization to avoid the above mentioned issues from occuring.

Answer 2

Answer:

350mL

Explanation:

It is only normal that every human being should drink between 1500 to 2000 mLs of water on a daily basis as this is essential to keep the body hydrated and also healthy. However before catherization, it is important to note that the amount of urine that needs to be held by the bladder should be between 200 to 350 mL before catherization due to the condition of the patient.
