The nurse is teaching a patient about a voiding cystogram. Which patient statements indicate that teaching has been effective?
Select all that apply.
1. "A urinary catheter will be placed in my bladder."
2. "My bladder will be filled with fluid."
3. "I will tell you when my bladder feels full."
4. "A peripheral IV will be inserted in my arm."
5. "I will be sedated for the procedure."
Correct Answer: 1, 2, 3
During this procedure a urinary catheter will be placed in the bladder so that fluid can be instilled directly into the bladder. Then the bladder will be filled and during filling the patient will be asked to describe the first urge to void, and the sensation of being unable to delay urination any longer. A peripheral IV is not needed for this procedure and the patient is not sedated as the patient must report when the sensation of bladder filling is occurring.
