A member asked:
Why would one give a foley catheter to someone with a decubitus ulcer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It's not: It's usually not the decubitus ulcer that necessitates the foley, but the conditions that lead up to the ulcer formation, such as paralysis, debilitating disease and so on.
