Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is 6 hr postoperative following abdominal surgery and is having difficulty voiding. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Encourage fluid intake up to 1,000 mL daily. This helps promote urinary output and can aid in overcoming difficulty voiding postoperatively. Increasing fluid intake can stimulate the bladder and help flush out any urinary retention.
A: Allowing the client to hear running water may be a helpful technique for some individuals, but it is not the most appropriate action in this situation.
B: Providing a bedpan while lying supine is not conducive to promoting voiding; it is important for the client to be in an upright position if possible.
D: Inserting an indwelling urinary catheter should be a last resort and is not indicated for difficulty voiding without further assessment.
