A nurse is teaching a client who is scheduled for a cystoscopy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
The correct answer is A. The nurse should include information about having pink-tinged urine after a cystoscopy due to minor bleeding from the procedure. This is important for the client to be aware of to avoid unnecessary anxiety. Choice B is incorrect because adequate hydration is necessary post-procedure to flush out any contrast dye used. Choice C is incorrect as the client is usually placed on their back during a cystoscopy. Choice D is incorrect as a clear liquid diet is recommended before the procedure to prevent aspiration.
