True.
When emptying a urinary drainage bag into a graduated cylinder or any other container, it's generally recommended to avoid direct contact between the drainage tube and the container. Touching the drainage tube to the container can potentially introduce contaminants or bacteria into the urinary drainage system, which could lead to infections or other complications. To prevent this, it's advisable to ensure a clean and careful transfer of the urine from the bag into the measuring container without allowing the tube to touch the container.
