ABSTRACT
Male urethral catheterisation is a task often delegated to house officers and, as such, is commonly tested in OSCEs. In most hospitals, the nursing staff performs female catheterisation. Catheters are placed in patients unnecessarily and exposes patients to infection and urethral injury. Preserve the patient's dignity by keeping them covered until the people are ready to start the procedure. There are two current variations on the aseptic approach to catheter insertion. The traditional method requires the people to assign a 'dirty' hand, which holds the penis, and 'clean' hand, which handles the equipment. Ensure patient comfort and dispose of equipment appropriately. It is essential to fully document details around catheter insertion.
