Question 5 of 5
A nurse is assessing a client who is postoperative following abdominal surgery and has an indwelling urinary catheter that is draining dark yellow urine at 25 mL/hr. Which of the following interventions should the nurse anticipate?
Correct Answer: B

C) can lead to urinary retention and should not be done without a specific reason. Obtaining a urine specimen for culture (
D) is important, but addressing the dehydration issue takes priority.
