True or False: Urinary incontinence is an acceptable reason for catheterization in CVA patients.

Urinary incontinence is generally not considered an acceptable reason for catheterization in patients who have suffered a cerebrovascular accident (CVA), also known as a stroke. Catheterization is primarily indicated for reasons such as urinary retention, bladder outlet obstruction, strictures, significant mobility issues preventing toileting, or during surgical procedures.

Incontinence can often be managed through other means, including bladder training, scheduled toileting, pelvic floor exercises, or the use of absorbent products. Continuous catheterization can lead to complications such as urinary tract infections, bladder damage, or increased dependency on the catheter by limiting the natural urge to void. Therefore, catheterization solely to manage urinary incontinence is not appropriate in most cases, leading to the conclusion that the statement is false.
