A male patient has urinary incontinence but can empty his bladder completely and has no urinary retention. Which device may be appropriate for short-term management?
Correct answer: A. External condom catheter
- A. External condom catheter
- B. Three-way indwelling catheter
- C. Suprapubic catheter
- D. Intermittent straight catheter
Explanation
An external condom catheter collects urine without entering the urethra and can be used when a man voids adequately. Indwelling, suprapubic, and intermittent catheters are invasive devices and are not first choices for uncomplicated incontinence.
