A nurse is assessing a client who is postoperative following a transurethral resection of the prostate and has a continuous bladder irrigation in place. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?
Correct answer
C
Rationale
Frequent bladder spasms indicate irritation or obstruction, requiring provider intervention. Equal output to instilled fluid is expected. Occasional clots are normal post-procedure. A continuous need to void is common with irrigation.
