A nurse is preparing a client for TURP surgery. The client asks, "Why is it important for me to remove my dentures before the procedure?" What is the nurse's best response?

A. While encouraging fluid intake is important, severe pain during urination and inability to void after TURP surgery require further evaluation and intervention by the healthcare provider.

B. This is the correct answer. Severe pain and inability to void after TURP surgery may indicate a complication or urinary retention that requires immediate attention from the healthcare provider.

C. Documenting the client's complaints is essential, but the nurse should not delay notifying the healthcare provider about the client's symptoms.

D. Instructing the client to perform Kegel exercises is not the priority when the client is experiencing severe pain and inability to void after TURP surgery. The client's symptoms require prompt evaluation and intervention.

A. This is the correct answer. TURP can cause temporary sexual dysfunction due to the proximity of the prostate to the nerves and blood vessels that control sexual function. However, in many cases, sexual function improves over time as the surgical site heals.

B. While sexual dysfunction can occur after TURP, it is not a common complication, and there are potential treatment options available.

C. TURP can have an impact on sexual function, and it is essential for the client to be aware of this possibility.

D. Sexual dysfunction after TURP is typically temporary and not a permanent outcome.
