Question

which of the following is the best method to prevent a cauti? click the correct answer and click submit. use a 2 person insertion technique. rest the catheter spigot on the collection container when emptying the collection bag. always use a small catheter. only use a catheter when there is a clinical indication.

Explanation:

CAUTI (catheter - associated urinary tract infection) prevention focuses on minimizing unnecessary catheter use as catheters are a major risk factor for such infections. Using a catheter only when clinically indicated reduces exposure to potential pathogens and thus the risk of infection. The other options are not the best overall prevention methods. Two - person insertion may not be necessary for all cases, resting the spigot on the container can still introduce contamination, and always using a small catheter doesn't address the root cause of unnecessary catheterization.

Answer:

D. Only use a catheter when there is a clinical indication.
