A nurse is reviewing the discharge instructions for a client who underwent a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) for BPH. Which activity restriction should the nurse include in the education?

A. A urodynamic study is not used to determine the size of the prostate gland. It is primarily focused on assessing bladder and urinary function.

B. A urodynamic study is not used to assess renal function and kidney health. It is a diagnostic test focused on evaluating the lower urinary tract and bladder function.

C. This is the correct answer. A urodynamic study is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the pressure and flow of urine during voiding. It provides valuable information about the lower urinary tract's function, including bladder capacity, detrusor muscle activity, and the presence of any obstructions or abnormalities.

D. A urodynamic study is not used to evaluate the bladder's capacity directly, but it does assess bladder function during voiding.

A. Increased urinary frequency is a common symptom of BPH, but it is not directly related to bladder outlet obstruction. It is a result of reduced bladder capacity due to the obstruction.

B. Nocturia is the need to wake up at night to urinate and can be caused by reduced bladder capacity and increased urine production at night due to BPH. However, it is not as indicative of bladder outlet obstruction as difficulty emptying the bladder.

C. Hematuria (blood in the urinE. can be a sign of various urinary tract disorders but is not a specific symptom of bladder outlet obstruction.

D. This is the correct answer. Difficulty emptying the bladder is a hallmark symptom of bladder outlet obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate in BPH.
