114. A home care patient with an indwelling urinary catheter complains of severe pain at the insertion site and has a fever. What is the immediate clinical action?

  • Administer pain medication only
  • Assess for signs of infection (e.g., redness, swelling, purulent drainage), notify physician, and consider catheter removal/change
  • Ignore the pain
  • Force fluids without assessment
