Question 1 of 5
A nurse is caring for a patient who is receiving continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider? Which finding should the nurse report during bladder irrigation?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clots in the drainage bag. This finding should be reported to the provider because it may indicate bleeding or clot formation, which can obstruct the catheter and impair the irrigation process. Clots can also increase the risk of urinary retention or infection. Reporting this finding promptly allows the provider to assess the patient's condition and take appropriate interventions to prevent complications.
Incorrect choices:
A: Urine output of 200 mL/hr is within the expected range for continuous bladder irrigation and does not necessarily indicate a problem.
B: Pink-tinged urine is a common finding following prostate surgery and is expected during bladder irrigation.
D: Bladder spasms are common after prostate surgery and can be managed with appropriate medications.
E, F, G: These choices are not provided, but they would be incorrect as they are not related to complications of bladder irrigation post-prostate surgery.
