How can elderly individuals reduce their risk of catheter-associated UTIs?

UTI prevention in the elderly requires extra care. Ensure proper catheter care with regular cleaning and changes. Encourage adequate fluid intake unless contraindicated. Monitor for any signs of infection, such as cloudy urine or fever. Consider using antimicrobial catheters if recommended by a healthcare provider. Maintain good overall hygiene and ensure caregivers are trained in proper catheter management techniques.
