To continue a patient’s care for the Urinary Catheter, add a single time column each time the urinary catheter is checked and then click on the ‘Save’ button to save the time column.

On removal of the Urinary Catheter add a single time column, complete the required fields in the removal section and then click on the ‘Save’ button to save the time column.
