Question 5 of 5
A client who underwent litholapaxy surgery for removing bladder stones wants to know how long the urethral catheter needs to stay in place. Which of the ff is the correct response?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: After a litholapaxy surgery for bladder stones, it is common for the urethral catheter to remain in place for 1-2 days. This timeframe allows for adequate drainage and healing of the bladder following the procedure. The healthcare team will monitor the patient's progress and determine the appropriate timing for catheter removal based on individual factors such as the size of the stones removed and the patient's overall condition. Early removal of the catheter may increase the risk of complications, while leaving it in place for too long may also lead to problems such as infection. Therefore, the recommended duration of 1-2 days strikes a balance between allowing for proper healing and minimizing potential issues related to catheterization.
