What are the steps you would take when someone is bipassing a large amount of urine. (do you reposition same catheter? do you advance that catheter or just change the catheter?
Are you a nursing student? Is this a patient in the hospital? How long has the foley been in place?

Comment:
I have no idea what you mean by bipassing urine. Could you explain?

Comment:
Leakage around the Foley?What do you find in your textbook?

Comment:
I'm assuming the tubing is kinked or the catheter is clogged.

Comment:
Besides the tubing being kinked or a clogged catheter, more specifically, if it's a male with bleeding, it could be a clot and may need flushing. If the catheter has been there for a while, there could be mucous or something clogging the tip and may also need flushing. If it's newer, it could also be bladder spasms...is there pain?
