The practical nurse (PN) is preparing to insert an indwelling urinary catheter for an older adult female client who has severe contractures of both lower extremities. The client cries in pain when positioned supine while the PN attempts to abduct the hips to visualize the perineum. Which action should the PN take?

Report to the charge nurse that the client cannot cooperate for the insertion.

Position laterally for posterior access in visualizing the meatus for insertion.

Premedicate the client with a narcotic analgesic to relax the skeletal muscles.

Recruit two unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) to hold the legs apart while the catheter is inserted.
