&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;QUESTIONS&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol class="wikiextraspace"&gt;
&lt;li&gt;List 4 ways in which the bladder may be emptied. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A tomcat is presented with a suspected blocked bladder due to urolithiasis; which technique would be safest to provide immediate relief and why? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Describe how cystocentesis is performed. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How is a Jackson cat catheter different to a regular cat catheter? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;How does the stylet of a Foley bitch catheter differ to that of a dog catheter? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What sterilisation technique is generally considered most suitable for urinary catheters and why? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What is the maximum length of time an indwelling urinary catheter should be left in place? &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;List possible reasons for performing urinary catheterisation. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Note: Two practical tasks accompany this module: a) Preparation of equipment for urinary catheterisation and b) Demonstration of manual bladder expression.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
