Answer 1

Answer: 3. Throughout the client's hospital admission.

Explanation:

A suprapubic catheter can be defined as a flexible hollow tube which is used to drain out urine from the bladder. This is inserted by making a small incision in the bladder. This process is done along with a dose anaesthesia. Thus the patient may remain in unconscious state.

As the client may remain in an unconscious state with the attachment of suprapubic catheter thus the hospital must care the client throughout the tenure of client stay in the hospital.
