Feedback:
Clients undergoing diagnostic testing are often anxious and worried. Clients having urologic testing may also feel embarrassed. Provide privacy, reassurance, and information and maintain professional and empathic attitude. Allowing families to be present during testing and the client to determine care is not appropriate and may be distracting to the client.
