0:00.0	Well, hi there. I'm Nurse Moe, and welcome to Mo's Monday Minute, a shorty episode of the straight and nursing podcast where I share a quick tip you can start using to improve your practice or your habits

0:56.2	a bunch of great tips about Foley catheters. Here was my favorite. If you place a bedpan
1:03.2	upside down under the patient's hips right there under the buttocks, this helps lift that urethra for better visualization and much,
1:16.4	much easier Foley catheter insertion. It's also really helpful to have a very bright light.
1:23.9	So you might think pen light, but the pen lights that we use to shine into patient's eyes really aren't
1:30.0	going to be bright enough for what you want get a flashlight and have a friend at the ready
1:36.0	in case you do need an extra set of hands but that bedpan trick placing it upside down underneath
1:43.2	the buttocks is a total game changer.
