Abstract
In a survey of patients with short-term indwelling urinary catheters, 47% were aware that catheters cause urinary tract infections, 89% believed that catheters were not overused, and 68% preferred catheter placement rather than use of a bedside commode, bedpan, or diaper. Patient education is needed regarding the risks of urinary catheters.
