- place urinary catheters,
- choose and prepare materials for administering suprapubic catheters,
- place suprapubic catheters,
- choose the correct drainage system for specific diseases and the patient’s/client’s needs (e.g. hourly urometer, leg pouch),
- perform bladder irrigation (e.g. single dose, continuous),
- choose material for administering faecal collectors,
- apply faecal collectors,
- choose material for administering rectal tubes and enemas,
- perform rectal enemas,
- perform enemas into stomata and provide stoma care (see also CA.3.4),
- choose material for administering bowel catheter systems,
- apply bowel catheter systems,
- perform irrigation of bowel catheter systems,
- prepare and administer medication regulating excretion according to prescription (e.g. oral medications, bowel enema, fleet enema, enema to infants) (see also CA.3.2),
- remove all kinds of urinary catheters,

- explain their own behaviour when removing all kinds of urinary catheters.
- explain their own behaviour when removing all kinds of stool catheters.
