A client is going to have a cystoscopy. Which of the following reflects the correct information that should be taught before the procedure?

2. "There will be no need to have a special consent form."
3. "You will need to have fluids restricted the evening before the cystoscopy."
4. "You will probably be given sedatives before the procedure."

Although this procedure may be accomplished using local anesthesia, it is more commonly per-formed using general anesthesia or conscious sedation to avoid unnecessary anxiety and trauma for the client. A cystoscopy involves direct visualization. No contrast dye is used; therefore the nurse does not need to ask if the client is allergic to iodine. A signed consent form is obtained. Fluids are not restricted before or after the procedure. The flushing action helps remove bacteria from the urethra.
