A client who is recovering from transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) experiences urinary incontinence. He tells the nurse that he has decreased his fluid intake because of the incontinence. What would be the nurse's best response to the client?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Encouraging adequate fluid intake (eight glasses) and scheduled voiding (every 2 hours) helps manage incontinence and maintain urinary health post-TURP.
