The nurse is placing an indwelling urinary catheter in an uncircumcised male patient and replaces the foreskin after insertion. What is the rationale for this nursing action?
1. Paraphimosis may occur as a result of long-term retraction of the foreskin causing ischemia of the glans.
2. Phimosis may occur due to chronic infections and adhesions under the foreskin which results in constriction of the foreskin.
3. Priapism may occur as a result of impaired blood flow in the penis.
4. Replacement of the foreskin prevents malignant changes of the penis.
