A nurse is preparing a patient diagnosed with benign prostatic hypertrophy for a lower urinary tract cystoscopic examination
The nurse informs the patient that the most common temporary complication experienced after this procedure is what?
A) Urinary retention
B) High rate of bladder perforation
C) Hemorrhage
D) Nausea
Ans: A
Feedback: After a cystoscopic examination, the patient with obstructive pathology may experience urine retention if the instruments used during the examination caused edema. The nurse will carefully monitor the patient with prostatic hyperplasia for urine retention. Post-procedure, the pain will experience some hematuria, but is not at great risk for hemorrhage. Unless the condition is associated with another disorder, nausea is not commonly associated with this diagnostic study. While the complications for this diagnostic study are numerous and infrequent, the risk for bladder perforation is rare.
