Transurethral resection of the prostate ( 37 Questions)

A nurse is preparing a client for Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP) surgery. What should the nurse instruct the client to do before the procedure?


Correct Answer: C

A. Increasing fluid intake may not be necessary before TURP surgery and could lead to over-distension of the bladder, making catheterization difficult.

B. Limiting fluid intake is not recommended as the client needs adequate hydration before surgery to support the body's normal functions.

C. This is the correct answer. Emptying the bladder completely before TURP surgery helps reduce the risk of infection and prevents complications during the procedure.

D. Kegel exercises are beneficial for pelvic floor muscle strengthening but are not specifically required before TURP surgery.
