Whats your proposal to me for inserting an indwelling catheter?
Answers: I tell my patients to lug a deep breath and exhale usually (causes adjectives muscles to relax) ... or I tell them to cough (sometimes help to make the meatus more visible) but, usually only just take a thoughtful breath and exhale ... always remember to hold it angled slightly upward to avoid letting it fall down into the vagina.

The lab dummy is not so discouraging. There are some people where on earth the nurses have difficulty inserting a catheter.
I other have a chortle at the nurses and tell them they should study more educational video.
Just remember ... mindful of your sterile field. Remember the lube. Insert the catheter into the urethra.
Inflate the balloon and in safe hands the catheter afterwards.
Dirty hand, verbs hand. Don't mix 'em up.
Good luck!
I would explain to the pt what you are around to do, and make sure to avoid awkward silences (I know that it is a lab dummy, so within isn't much convo on the other end). Make sure the pt is comfortable and let him/her know back you begin.
Good luck!!
