A client with a spinal cord injury.
Question 1 of 5
A nurse is offering teaching to a caregiver about urinary system complications that occur as a result of spinal cord injury. Which of the following will the nurse include in teaching?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Drain the bladder with a clean intermittent catheter every hour. This is essential in managing urinary system complications in spinal cord injury patients to prevent urinary retention, infections, and complications like autonomic dysreflexia. Intermittent catheterization helps maintain bladder function and reduces the risk of urinary tract infections. Option B, decreasing fluid intake, is incorrect as adequate hydration is important for overall health. Option C, observing urine for a foul odor, is not a proactive measure to manage complications. Option D, keeping an indwelling catheter in place at all times, increases the risk of urinary tract infections and should be avoided unless necessary.
