That is my belief exactly…just needed some support from everyone…the nurses act like I am crazy for asking why the foley is still in and then finally insisting that the foley issue be addressed with doctor.  Thanks.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 8:11 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Foleys   In a message dated 2/17/2004 2:53:08 PM Pacific Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: Many of our new admissions from the hospital come to us with foley catheters. I am wondering if anyone has a protocol as to when to attempt to discontinue the foley for residents recuperating from hip fracture or a new CVA.  Thanks. Ours is very simple. DC upon admission. S/P hip fx is not a valid reason for a Foley.
