Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 5 hr postoperative following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The nurse notes that the client's indwelling urinary catheter has not drained in the past hour. Which of the following actions should the nurse take first?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Check the tubing for kinks. The first step should be to assess for any possible obstructions in the catheter tubing, as a kink may be preventing proper drainage. Checking for kinks is a basic troubleshooting step that can quickly resolve the issue. If a kink is found and corrected, the catheter should begin draining normally. This action is within the nurse's scope of practice and can be done immediately without needing to involve the provider. Adjusting the rate of bladder irrigation (
A) may exacerbate the issue if there is an obstruction. Ambulating the client (
B) is not appropriate until the catheter issue is resolved. Notifying the provider (
C) should be done after assessing and addressing the immediate problem.
