After using a urinal, what should the person do?

The appropriate course of action after using a urinal is to use the call light for assistance. This ensures that a qualified caregiver can address any necessary follow-up care, including proper disposal and cleanliness. Using the call light communicates the need for help, which is particularly important in a healthcare setting where staff may assist in maintaining hygiene and safety standards.

Flushing a urinal immediately might seem like a logical choice, but it depends on the facility's protocols. Similarly, using the bathroom again may not be necessary, and placing the urinal on the floor poses a risk for spills and contamination, which is not safe or sanitary. Proper procedure emphasizes notifying staff rather than attempting to manage the item independently after use.
