Applying an external condom catheter

condom-catheter

So, tell me. How many of these steps do you do every other night just for fun?

1. Assesses the skin of the penis
2. Uses clean technique throughout
3. Prepares the leg bag or bedside drainage bag for attachment to the condom catheter by removing it from the packaging and placing the end of the connecting tubing near the perineal area.
4. Rolls the condom catheter outward onto itself to prepare for rolling up and onto the penis.
5. Places the patient in the supine position.
6. Folds down the bedcovers to expose the genitalia and drapes the patient, using the bath blanket.
7. Washes hands.
8. Dons clean procedure gloves.
9. Gently cleanses the penis with soap and water. Rinses and dries thoroughly.
10. If the penis is uncircumcised, retracts the foreskin, cleanses the glans and replaces the foreskin.
11. Clips excess hair along the shaft of the penis, unless contraindicated by policy or patient condition.
12. Washes hands; changes procedure gloves.
13. Measures circumference of the penis. Ensures catheter is appropriately sized.
14. Applies skin prep and allows it to dry.
15. Holding penis in non-dominant hand, with dominant hand places the condom at the end of the penis and slowly unrolls it up along the shaft.
16. Leaves one to two inches between the end of the penis and the drainage tube on the catheter.
17. Secures condom catheter in place on the penis. Ensures that condom is not twisted.

    You had me at “Assesses the skin of the penis”. Is it just me or do you hear the voice of Jame Gumb from ‘Silence of the Lambs’? “It puts the lotion in the basket.”

  5. Bulldog Says:

    an external cath is alot better than a real one…except when the old man gets a friggen hard on from a certain someone cleaning the area and then asks you to pull on it so that he can pee better- the dirty ol’ bastard (may he rest in peace)

    I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams… Man… is above all the plaything of his memory.

    buy online Flexeril

    Uses
    Flexeril is a muscle relaxant prescribed to relieve muscle spasms resulting from
    injuries such as sprains, strains, or pulls. Combined with rest and physical therapy,
    Flexeril provides relief of muscular stiffness and pain.

    How to Use
    Flexeril may be taken with or without food. Flexeril should be used only for
    short periods (no more than 3 weeks). Since the type of injury that Flexeril treats
    should improve in a few weeks, there is no reason to use it for a longer period. Flexeril
    may cause dry mouth. Sucking a hard candy, chewing gum, or melting ice chips in your
    mouth can provide temporary relief.

    Precautions
    The effects of Flexeril during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are
    pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. It is not known
    if Flexeril appears in breast milk. However, cyclobenzaprine is related to tricyclic
    antidepressants, and some of those drugs do appear in breast milk. If this medication
    is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding
    your baby until your treatment is finished.

    Side Effects
    Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, inform your
    doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to
    continue taking Flexeril. More common side effects may include: Dizziness,
    drowsiness, dry mouth Less common or rare side effects may include: Abnormal
    heartbeats, abnormal sensations, abnormal thoughts or dreams, aggressive behavior,
    agitation, anxiety, bloated feeling, blurred vision, confusion, constipation, convulsions,
    decreased appetite, depressed mood, diarrhea, difficulty falling or staying asleep,
    difficulty speaking, disorientation, double vision, excitement, fainting, fatigue, fluid
    retention, gas, hallucinations, headache, heartburn, hepatitis, hives, increased heart.

    Notes
    Flexeril is not a substitute for the physical therapy, rest, or exercise that your doctor
    orders for proper healing. Although Flexeril relieves the pain of strains and sprains,
    it is not useful for other types of pain.

    Drug Interactions
    Serious, potentially fatal reactions may occur if you take Flexeril with an antidepressant
    drug known as an MAO inhibitor (such as Nardil, Parnate) or if it has been less than 2
    weeks since you last took an MAO inhibitor. You should closely follow your doctor’s
    advice regarding discontinuation of MAO inhibitors before taking Flexeril. Avoid alcoholic
    beverages while taking Flexeril. If Flexeril is taken with certain other drugs, the effects

    Missed Dose
    Take it as soon as you remember, if it is within an hour or so of your scheduled time.
    If you do not remember until later, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular
    schedule. Do not take 2 doses at once.

    Overdose
    Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. If you suspect a
    Flexeril overdose, seek medical attention immediately. Symptoms ofFlexeril
    overdose may include: Agitation, coma, confusion, congestive heart failure, convulsions,
    dilated pupils, disturbed concentration, drowsiness, hallucinations.
