Question 1 of 5
A patient requests the nurse's help to the bedside commode and becomes frustrated when unable to void in front of the nurse. How should the nurse interpret the patient's inability to void?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: The patient can be anxious, making it difficult for abdominal and perineal muscles to relax enough to void. When a patient is anxious, the sympathetic nervous system is activated, leading to muscle tension and difficulty relaxing. This can affect the ability to void. The frustration expressed by the patient indicates a possible underlying anxiety contributing to the inability to void.
Incorrect options:
A: The patient being lonely and seeking attention does not explain the physiological inability to void.
B: Lack of recognition of physiological signals is unlikely if the patient requested assistance to void.
C: Inadequate fluid intake may lead to decreased urine output but does not explain the inability to void in this specific situation.
