A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a prostatectomy. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: A

Question 2 of 5
A nurse is caring for a client who is postoperative following a total knee arthroplasty. Which of the following actions should the nurse take?
Correct Answer: B
