HealthcareSourcing & Procurement4HighNurse$ implied
Nurse lacks access to proper supplies and knowledge on how to set up a 3-way hematuria foley without CBI orders, leading to improvised solutions and anxiety about professional judgment.
No standardized, easily accessible kit or protocol for placing a 3-way foley without immediate CBI orders; nurses waste time searching for supplies across hospital and lack a clear, pre-approved method for the 'storage' port.
