Is a catheter considering toileting or just wiping your own butt?
You're probably over-thinking it:
Does she require assistance toileting? Is she using the catheter herself or does she require someone else to put it in and out for her?
I was doing a graded term with a guy in a wheelchair. Same ADL question. His girlfriend would help him shower. That wasn't the question though, the question was could he do it himself? He said he could, it would just take longer. No one was asking about how long it would take, the question was if he could do it himself. If he can honestly answer yes then that is the beginning and the end of the question.
So does she need help toileting? Or can her and the catheter get the job done?
