A nurse is providing discharge teaching to a client who underwent a TURP for BPH. Which instruction should the nurse include regarding catheter care?

A. Decreased urine production is not a common complication of BPH. Instead, BPH leads to urinary retention and incomplete bladder emptying.

B. This is the correct answer. BPH can lead to urinary retention, allowing bacteria to multiply and colonize the prostate, increasing the risk of recurrent UTIs.

C. Increased bladder capacity is not a complication of BPH. Instead, the enlarged prostate obstructs the flow of urine, leading to urinary retention and incomplete emptying.

D. Inadequate fluid intake may contribute to UTIs, but the primary reason for recurrent UTIs in BPH is the bacterial colonization of the prostate due to urinary retention.

A. While urinary tract infections can occur in clients with BPH, they do not typically present with severe pain in the lower abdomen, groin, and testicles.

B. Testicular cancer does not typically cause pain in the lower abdomen and is not directly related to BPH.

C. This is the correct answer. Severe pain in the lower abdomen, groin, and testicles can be indicative of kidney stones, which may occur as a complication of BPH. Urinary retention and stasis in the bladder can lead to the formation of stones.

D. Prostate cancer may cause symptoms similar to BPH, but sudden severe pain in the lower abdomen, groin, and testicles is not a typical presentation of prostate cancer.
