The nurse is discontinuing the patient's indwelling urinary catheter. The catheter is not easily withdrawn after the balloon is deflated. Which is the appropriate nursing action?

Reattach the syringe and attempt to withdraw more water from the balloon.

Ask the patient to bear down as the catheter is withdrawn with gentle pressure.

Review the patient's chart to see how much water was inserted into the balloon.

Explain to the patient that removal of the catheter may cause significant discomfort.
