A client undergoing a TURP asks the nurse how long they can expect to remain in the hospital after the procedure. What is the nurse's best response?


Correct Answer: C

B. A hospital stay of about a week is more extended than usual for TURP surgery, which typically requires a shorter stay.

C. This is the correct answer. Most clients who undergo TURP can expect to stay in the hospital for 2 to 3 days for close postoperative monitoring and management of any complications.

D. Discharging a client on the same day of surgery is not standard practice for TURP, as immediate postoperative monitoring is necessary.
