Before inserting the indwelling catheter, the balloon should be tested by injecting the fluid from the prefilled syringe into the balloon port. The dominant hand is kept sterile throughout the pro-cedure. The nondominant hand is not kept sterile because it touches the client. If the catheter is misplaced, it should be left in the vagina as a landmark indicating where not to insert, and anoth-er sterile catheter should be inserted into the urethra. The catheter should be advanced 2 to 3 inches in the female client.
