C.

Rationale: This is the correct answer. To reduce the risk of CAUTI in a patient with an indwelling urinary catheter, the nurse would use the smallest-size catheter possible. To reduce the risk of CAUTI, the nurse would wear sterile, not simply clean, gloves to insert the indwelling urinary catheter. Inflating the balloon before inserting an indwelling urinary catheter would not reduce the risk of CAUTI. To reduce the risk of CAUTI in a patient with an indwelling urinary catheter, the urine collection device must remain a closed system. To keep the system completely closed, the urine must be removed from the device connected to the bag and not by disconnecting the catheter from the drainage bag.
