A patient got admitted with status epilepticus .During initial treatment , an intern reports to a senior resident that the patient has just lost his bladder control and that the urine appears darker than normal. The senior resident should take what measure?
Correct Answer: Order condom catheter
Description: Urinary incontinence is an expected consequence of status epilepticus. Indwelling catheter is unnecessary and it introduces risk of urinary tract infection. So a condom catheter will suffice to keep the patient dry and allow urine to be collected.
