3. We never used a catheter on small children or babies. NEVER!

We used some kind of disposable device--I forget what it was called__that taped on. It was quite easy for boys, of course, somewhat less so for girls, but it worked. But NEVER a catheter.. And we only used it for collecting a specimen one time, not continuously. I have never, EVER, in my 30 years of nursing,, seen anyone try to catheterize a young child, at least not while they were conscious. That borders on criminal!
