Question 1 of 5
A nurse is planning care for a patient who is immobile and is experiencing urinary retention. The nurse should plan to monitor the patient for which of the following?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: Urinary tract infection. This is because urinary retention can lead to incomplete emptying of the bladder, creating a stagnant environment that increases the risk of bacterial growth and infection. Monitoring for urinary tract infection is crucial in this scenario to prevent complications.
A: Neurogenic bladder is a dysfunction of the bladder due to a problem in the nervous system, not directly related to urinary retention in this case.
C: Bladder outlet obstruction is a potential cause of urinary retention, not a direct monitoring concern.
D: Genitourinary System Effects is too broad and not specific to the immediate monitoring need.
