Transurethral resection of the prostate ( 37 Questions)

A client scheduled for TURP expresses anxiety and fear about the surgery. What should the nurse do to alleviate the client's anxiety?


Correct Answer: D

A. Sharing personal experiences of other clients may not be appropriate, as each individual's experience is unique, and it may not alleviate the client's anxiety.

B. Avoiding discussing the surgical procedure can increase the client's anxiety, as they may feel uninformed and uncertain about the surgery.

C. While explaining the surgical procedure is important, listening to the client's concerns and providing emotional support are equally crucial in alleviating anxiety.

D. This is the correct answer. Actively listening to the client's concerns allows the nurse to understand their fears and provide appropriate emotional support, which can help alleviate anxiety before TURP surgery.
