The insertion of a Foley catheter involves several steps:
1. Preparation: The patient is usually positioned supine. Sterile techniques are employed to prevent infections. 2. Insertion: The catheter is gently inserted through the urethra into the bladder. Once urine begins to flow, the balloon at the catheter's tip is inflated with sterile water to keep it in place. 3. Connection: The other end of the catheter is connected to a drainage bag to collect urine.
