Question 24 :

A nurse is reviewing the discharge instructions for a client who underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for BPH. Which activity restriction should the nurse include in the education?

A Limiting fluid intake to avoid urinary urgency

Limiting fluid intake to avoid urinary urgency is not necessary after a TURP. Adequate hydration is essential for promoting urinary flow and preventing urinary tract infections.

B Avoiding sexual activity for at least two weeks

This is the correct answer. After a TURP, sexual activity is usually restricted for at least two weeks to allow for proper healing and to reduce the risk of complications, such as bleeding or infection.

C Restricting walking and physical activity

Restricting walking and physical activity is not necessary after a TURP. Encouraging early ambulation is important for preventing complications and promoting recovery.

D Avoiding sitting for extended periods

Avoiding sitting for extended periods is not a specific activity restriction after a TURP.
