A client undergoing a TURP asks the nurse how long they can expect to remain in the hospital after the procedure. What is the nurse's best response?

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.

A. This is the correct answer. The priority intervention for suspected UTI is to administer prescribed antibiotics to treat the infection and prevent its spread.

B. While increased fluid intake is essential, it is not the priority when the client is exhibiting signs of a UTI. Antibiotics should be given to address the infection promptly.

C. Monitoring vital signs and urine output is important, but the priority is to treat the infection with antibiotics.

D. Applying warm compresses to the abdomen may provide some comfort but does not address the underlying UTI.
