Clinical Simulation
Foley Catheter Insertion – Female
About This Course
What you'll experience
Urinary catheterization, a core nursing procedure, involves introducing a thin, long, flexible sterile tube into a patient’s bladder through the urethra in order to drain urine. The catheter is held in place with a small balloon inflated with sterile water. The balloon end of the catheter is placed in the bladder and the other end is connected to a urine bag suspended against the patient’s bed. This VR simulation provides learners practice in the insertion of foley catheter in a female patient helping them perform it smoothly and confidently to avoid minor mistakes and complications.
Learning Objectives
- Explain urinary catheter insertion procedure to a virtual patient
- Demonstrate positioning and prepping of patient for urinary catheter insertion
- Demonstrate setting up of sterile field for urinary catheter insertion
- Demonstrate successful insertion of urinary catheter in a female patient
- Demonstrate confirming placement of urinary catheter in a female patient
- Demonstrate correct inflation of urinary catheter balloon
- Demonstrate applying securement device and placement of urinary catheter drainage bag
- Explain aftercare instructions to virtual patient

Core Skill
Patient Preparation
Thorough preparation sets the procedure on the right track. This module on patient preparation includes confirming the identity of the patient, preparing the patient, gathering the necessary equipment and creating a sterile field. The session is equipped with a responding virtual patient, physics-based interactions, and adequate affordances representing the equipment required for the procedure; all set in a photorealistic virtual environment for a close-to-reality experience.

Physics-based InteractionHow it works
Training
With prompts, guidance and affordances learners are hand-held through the process to practice the procedure in a virtual environment with a virtual patient.
- Photorealistic Virtual Environment
- Physics-based Interactions
- Learn by Doing
- Visual Affordances
Measure progress
Assessment
Test skills to perform the procedures from start to finish without prompts. An incorrect step will take the learner back to the start to start afresh.
