Question 1 of 5

A nurse is monitoring a client following a lumbar laminectomy. The client has a drain and indwelling urinary catheter. The nurse should identify which of the following findings as an indication of a complication of the surgery?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Clear drainage on the dressings. Clear drainage may indicate a cerebrospinal fluid leak, which is a serious complication following a lumbar laminectomy. Cerebrospinal fluid is a clear fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord, and its leakage can lead to infection and other complications. Red-tinged drainage (choice
A) may be expected initially due to surgical trauma. Cloudy urine in the catheter (choice
B) is more likely related to urinary tract infection. Mild back pain at the surgical site (choice
D) is common after this surgery and does not necessarily indicate a complication.
