A client is concerned about the possibility of erectile dysfunction after TURP surgery. What is the nurse's best response?

A. Increasing fluid intake is important, but excessive fluid consumption may put additional stress on the bladder and cause discomfort. The client should maintain adequate fluid intake without overhydration.

B. Limiting protein intake is not typically necessary after TURP surgery unless there are specific medical reasons for such restrictions.

C. This is not an appropriate recommendation. Foods that are high in fiber and whole grains are beneficial for overall health, including gastrointestinal function.

D. This is the correct answer. Consuming caffeine and alcohol in moderation is recommended after TURP surgery. These substances can act as diuretics, increasing the need to urinate and potentially causing discomfort for the client.

A. Administering pain relief may be necessary, but the nurse's first action should be to notify the healthcare provider about the client's severe pain and other concerning symptoms.

B. This is the correct answer. Severe lower abdominal pain, difficulty urinating, and the presence of blood clots in the urine may indicate postoperative complications after TURP. The nurse should notify the healthcare provider immediately for further evaluation and intervention.

C. Encouraging the client to drink more fluids may be helpful, but it is not the first action when the client experiences severe pain and other concerning symptoms.

D. Deep breathing exercises can help manage pain, but the nurse should first address the client's acute symptoms and notify the healthcare provider for appropriate intervention.
