A client reports a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying and a feeling of "fullness" in the lower abdomen. The nurse should document this as:

A. Limiting fluid intake to avoid urinary urgency is not necessary after a TURP. Adequate hydration is essential for promoting urinary flow and preventing urinary tract infections.

B. This is the correct answer. After a TURP, sexual activity is usually restricted for at least two weeks to allow for proper healing and to reduce the risk of complications, such as bleeding or infection.

C. Restricting walking and physical activity is not necessary after a TURP. Encouraging early ambulation is important for preventing complications and promoting recovery.

D. Avoiding sitting for extended periods is not a specific activity restriction after a TURP.

A) This is the correct answer. A digital rectal exam (DRE) involves the insertion of a gloved, lubricated finger into the rectum to feel the size, shape, and texture of the prostate gland. It helps assess for enlargement and any abnormalities.

B) The prostate-specific antigen (PSA) blood test measures the level of PSA in the blood, which may be elevated in various prostate conditions, including BPH. However, it does not directly assess the size and shape of the prostate gland.

C) Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) uses sound waves to create images of the prostate gland and is used to assess the prostate's size and identify any abnormalities.

D) Urinalysis is a urine test that evaluates the urine's physical and chemical properties but does not directly assess the size and shape of the prostate gland.
