To facilitate entry of a catheter into the male urethra, the penis should be positioned at which of the following degree angles (in relation to the body)?
a) 90 degrees
A right angle straightens the urethra and makes it easier to insert the catheter.
b) 45 degrees
A 45-degree angle will not straighten the urethra.
c) 180 degrees
A 180-degree angle will result in the penis being parallel to the body and inappropriately positioned for catheterization.
d) 270 degrees
A 270-degree angle is a physical impossibility.
