Personal care, UTI and a catheter

[Guest guest]

Hi all. My mom is VERY combative with any personal care from the staff at the

home - she screams for her mom and is terrified and yells out that they are

trying to kill her. The doctor wants to get a urine sample from my mom to check

for a UTI, but she is so combative around personal care there is no way to get

her to swipe and then urinate in a cup (I don't think she even understands the

concept anymore anyway). They want to put a catheter in for a short time to

collect the sample, which I know will be very terrifying for her. Are there any

alternatives to the catheter or any suggestions you can give me on how to make

the personal care issue easier for her in general?

Thanks so much.
