Question 5 of 5
A client with ureterolithiasis is preparing for discharge after a ureteroscopic removal. Which instructions should the nurse include in the client's postoperative discharge teaching?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The nurse should instruct the client post-ureteroscopic removal to monitor urinary stream for decreased output. Ureterolithiasis involves kidney stones, and ureteroscopy can cause swelling or obstruction, risking urine flow blockage. Decreased output may signal complications like stricture or clot retention, requiring prompt reporting. Spirometry is for respiratory issues, activity restriction isn't routine unless specified, and pink-tinged hematuria is expected initially, making monitoring output critical for detecting post-op issues.
