Palliative grandma with ng tube and catheter, has gastro. diarrhea for 24hrs but no urine. gastrolyte is given. could her catheter be blocked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible: But if not taking in fluids with diarrhea may be dehydrated or kidneys shutting down as she is in palliative care not much to do. A hospice nurse could flush the catheter to see if it is blocked, best wishes as the end may be near, .

Dad has a condom catheter. I noticed the drainage tube is full. Is this normal? Urine is in bag too but thought tube normally empty.
The top part/connection of the catheter tube (the silicone that connects the tip of the catheter to the long wire that directs the urine to the bag came off due to, I assume, the urine bag being full and the weight pulled it off. What shall I do?
