Which outcome should the nurse establish for a patient who has just voided and is scheduled for a portable ultrasonic bladder scan? A normal scan will indicate:
1. less than 100 mL of urine in the bladder.
2. between 100 and 150 mL of urine in the bladder.
3. between 150 and 200 mL of urine in the bladder.
4. more than 200 mL of urine in the bladder.
Correct Answer: 1
A normal ultrasonic bladder scan finding is less than 100 mL for a residual voiding. Volumes greater than 100 mL would not be normal after a portable ultrasonic bladder scan.
