When inserting a catheter in a male patient, how should lubrication be applied?

To the entire length of the catheter.

Only to the tip.

Lubrication primarily reduces friction and mucosal trauma as the catheter passes through the urethra. The best practice is to apply a small amount of sterile, water-soluble lubricant to the tip of the catheter before insertion. This prepares the portion that will enter the urethra, allowing a smoother, less traumatic passage. Lubricating the entire length isn’t necessary and can waste lubricant or introduce contaminants along the shaft. Lubricating after insertion or on the head of the penis does not aid the insertion and isn’t standard practice.

On the head of the penis after insertion.

Lubrication is not necessary.
