Re: Foleys

[RRS2000]

we also have a policy about doing foley care, and as some people on this group know, it doesn't always  mean it gets done.

Be careful about "foley care."  The current standard of clinical practice is to cleanse around the meatal-catheter junction with soap and water during the daily bath and prn for stool incontinence only.  In other words, the same kind of peri care that is provided to any other resident.
