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. While the client's marital status and family support are important aspects of the client's life, they are not directly related to the client's readiness for TURP surgery.

B. The client's dietary preferences and meal schedule are important for overall health but are not the priority during the preoperative assessment for TURP.

C. This is the correct answer. The nurse should prioritize assessing the client's allergies and medication history to identify any potential risks or adverse reactions during the surgical procedure and anesthesia.

D. The client's educational background and employment status may not be directly relevant to TURP surgery and are not the priority during the preoperative assessment.

A. Administering pain medication may not be appropriate for these symptoms, as the client's condition requires immediate attention and assessment.

B. This is the correct answer. The sudden onset of tachycardia, hypotension, and confusion indicates a potential complication or adverse reaction that requires immediate intervention from the surgical and anesthesia teams.

C. Reassuring the client is important, but it is not the priority when the client is experiencing concerning symptoms.

D. Initiating a rapid infusion of intravenous fluids may not be appropriate without a proper assessment and evaluation of the client's condition. The priority is to inform the surgical and anesthesia teams to address the situation promptly.
