Question

question 1 of 10 according to the centers for disease control and prevention (cdc) and healthcare infection control practices committee (hicpac), which of the following is a recommended indication for insertion of an indwelling urinary catheter? click the correct answer and click submit. a patient with urinary incontinence. a patient with urinary incontinence and open sacral wound. a patient with chronic urinary retention. a patient who had knee - replacement surgery.

Explanation:

The CDC and HICPAC recommend indwelling urinary catheter insertion for patients with chronic urinary retention as it helps in continuous drainage of urine. Urinary incontinence alone is not an indication as other non - invasive measures can be tried first. A patient with urinary incontinence and open sacral wound may have other methods to manage incontinence to prevent infection. A patient who had knee - replacement surgery does not typically require an indwelling urinary catheter unless there are specific urinary issues related to the surgery or pre - existing conditions.

Answer:

C. A patient with chronic urinary retention.
