The goal of the nursing profession is to provide patients with high-quality medical care. Unfortunately, a number of clinical problems make this impossible, putting patient safety and the efficacy of the treatment regimens at risk. Urinary tract infections associated with catheter use are one of the main problems with nursing care. One of the most common nosocomial infections, these infections may have harmful side effects that can worsen prognosis or possibly result in mortality from septicemia (Werneburg, 2022). Healthcare professionals, especially nurses who have regular and direct patient contact, can prevent and treat urinary tract infections linked to catheter use. Inadequate infection control procedures, such as inappropriate catheter handling and hand washing, put patients at risk for infection. Patient’s quality of life declines, their hospital stays lengthen, and their medical expenses rise as a result.
