Question 1 of 5
A nurse removes an indwelling urinary catheter that an older adult client has had in place for 2 days. The nurse should monitor the client for which of the following expected outcomes after catheter removal?

B) is not an expected outcome but may indicate trauma during catheter removal. Urinary frequency for several days (
C) is not typically expected immediately after catheter removal. Highly concentrated urine (
