A client with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is preparing for discharge following a transurethral needle ablation (TUNA). Which information should the nurse include in the discharge instructions?

Choice A rationale: Using an incentive spirometer is not directly related to the post-TUNA discharge instructions for a client with BPH. Incentive spirometry is typically used to improve lung function and prevent respiratory complications. Choice B rationale: Monitoring the urinary stream for a decrease in output may be important, but it is a general instruction that may not be specific to the TUNA procedure. The primary focus after TUNA is often on monitoring for complications related to the procedure. Choice C rationale: Reporting when hematuria (blood in the urine) becomes pink-tinged is important. While some degree of hematuria is expected after TUNA, a change in color to pink or any other concerning changes should be reported to the healthcare provider as it could indicate complications. Choice D rationale: There is typically no need to restrict physical activities after a TUNA procedure. In fact, healthcare providers often encourage patients to resume normal activities gradually unless otherwise instructed due to specific complications.
