Because urinary catheterization carries a risk of causing urinary tract infection (UTI), precautions should be used to keep the catheter clean and free of bacteria.

Showering is fine, no baths or hot tubs though.
Depends on what kind of catheter, but I assume you mean the standard Foley (urinary) catheter. Most likely what is causing this is obstruction of the fill lumen by salt that has crystallized out of normal saline. This happens when the balloon is filled with normal saline and not water. Are you able to fill and empty the catheter? If not then most likely it is clogged with salt. Remedy is go see a doctor, they will probably cut the catheter completely in two closer in the middle of the catheter to release the fluid in the balloon and then the catheter should come out.
The patient must stay in bed after the procedure for at least six hours, to reduce the risk of bleeding. A nurse checks vital signs and looks for indications of complication such as pain, cramping, or leakage around the catheter. The catheter is.
AnswerI don't think there is one. It should be included in "catheter insertion." The same thing happens if you need stitches, getting the stitches removed isn't even billed because its included in the charges for when they sewed you up.

The catheter should always go over the leg. It may seem counter production to gravity, but when the patient shuffles around in bed they can pull it out with their leg. The weight of their leg can also close it off. It can cause undue trauma to the patient, and drains just fine over the leg. The catheter should always go over the leg.

Anything can happen, but logically, no. A catheter tube is inserted into the urethra tube and then into the bladder, for urinary purposes. There should be no reason to insert a catheter into the uterus, where the embryo/fetus reside. A doctor has a better explanation.

Establishing a catheterization schedule may require a period of adjustment. To prevent urinary tract infection antiseptic techniques for insertion and catheter care should be used.
