A nurse is collecting data from a client who is 1 day postoperative following a transurethral resection of the prostate. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?

A. Incorrect. A urine output of 300 ml over 8 hours is within the expected range for a postoperative client and does not require immediate reporting. B. Incorrect. Occasional small clots in the urine are common in the immediate postoperative period following a transurethral resection of the prostate and do not necessarily require immediate reporting. C. Correct. Dark red urine can indicate bleeding and may be a sign of hemorrhage. This finding should be reported to the provider for further assessment and intervention. D. Incorrect. A frequent urge to urinate is expected following a transurethral resection of the prostate, as irritation and swelling can occur in the immediate postoperative period.
