Question

A triple-lumen indwelling urinary catheter is inserted for continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate. In addition to balloon inflation, the nurse is aware that the functions of the three lumens include:
A. Continuous inflow and outflow of irrigation solution.
B. Intermittent inflow and continuous outflow of irrigation solution.
C. Continuous inflow and intermittent outflow of irrigation solution.
D. Intermittent flow of irrigation solution and prevention of hemorrhage.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A: Continuous inflow and outflow of irrigation solution.

Further Explanation:

The lumens will provide for the inflation of the balloon and for the continuous inflow and the outflow of the irrigation solution. When the nurse is preparing to administer the continuous bladder irrigation she will use a triple-lumen "indwelling" catheter. She will then insert this catheter into the patient.

This helps the patient to keep a clean bladder and can also administer medications directly into the bladder of the patient. This is a common procedure used after surgery and in patients with bladder and kidney issues.
