If a factor in raising the productivity of labor is not used in the production process, it is referred to as a reserve for increasing labor productivity. Reserves are classified according to their association with a particular production process, an economic sector, or the national economy.
Definition. 1  Urinary catheterization is the insertion of a catheter into a patient's bladder. The catheter is used as a conduit to drain urine from the bladder into an attached bag or container.
Urinary catheterization is employed in hospital and nursing home settings to maintain urine output in patients who are undergoing surgery, or who are confined to the bed and physically unable to use a bedpan. Critically ill patients who require strict monitoring of urinary output are also frequently catheterized.
