Question 4 :

A client is scheduled for a TURP and expresses concerns about potential sexual dysfunction after the procedure. How should the nurse respond to the client's concerns?

A "TURP may lead to temporary sexual dysfunction, but it is usually reversible."

This is the correct answer. TURP can cause temporary sexual dysfunction due to the proximity of the prostate to the nerves and blood vessels that control sexual function. However, in many cases, sexual function improves over time as the surgical site heals.

B "Sexual dysfunction is a common complication after TURP, and there is no treatment for it."

While sexual dysfunction can occur after TURP, it is not a common complication, and there are potential treatment options available.

C "TURP has no impact on sexual function, so you need not worry about it."

TURP can have an impact on sexual function, and it is essential for the client to be aware of this possibility.

D "Sexual dysfunction is an expected and permanent outcome of TURP."

Sexual dysfunction after TURP is typically temporary and not a permanent outcome.
