A) Ask the client to reduce salt intake for 2 weeks after the cystoscopy.
B) Make sure the client is not allergic to iodine dye before the cystoscopy.
C) Report any darkening urine after the cystoscopy.
D) Ask the client not to drink fluids immediately after the cystoscopy.
C
Feedback:
The nurse should report any darkening urine or urine that is blood-tinged more than 24 hours after cystoscopy. The client need not reduce salt intake for 2 weeks after cystoscopy. Clients diagnosed with chronic glomerulonephritis are asked to reduce their salt intake. The nurse should make sure the client is not allergic to local anesthetic agents, such as lidocaine, not to iodine dye. The client should be encouraged to drink fluids after the procedure to prevent urinary stasis.
