Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a client who is 2 hours postoperative following a transurethral resection of the prostate. The client is receiving continuous bladder irrigation. Which of the following interventions should the nurse include?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Remind the client he might feel a constant urge to void. After a transurethral resection of the prostate, continuous bladder irrigation is often used to prevent blood clots and ensure urine output. This procedure can cause the client to feel a constant urge to void due to the bladder being continuously filled and emptied.
Therefore, reminding the client about this sensation can help alleviate anxiety and discomfort.
Choice A: Restricting the client's oral fluid intake is incorrect because maintaining hydration is essential postoperatively to prevent complications such as dehydration and urinary retention.
Choice C: Weighing the client every evening is unnecessary and not directly related to the care of a client post transurethral resection of the prostate.
Choice D: Monitoring the client's urine output every 6 hours is important, but reminding the client about the sensation of constant urge to void takes priority in this scenario.
