You are treating a patient who has an indwelling catheter and is preparing for gait training. How should you handle the catheter for gait training?
- Attach or carry the catheter below the lateral level and safely secure the tubing to avoid stepping on or compressing the tube
- Call nursing to remove the catheter for the duration of the physical therapy treatment
- Gait training is not possible when a patient is wearing an indwelling catheter
- Secure the catheter to the bed and only ambulate the distance allowed by the tubing
