    ATI LPN Comprehensive Predictor Proctored Exam

    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?

    Explanation & Rationale

    Choice A reason: Dark red urine signals active bleeding post-TURP, beyond expected light pink. It may indicate hemorrhage, requiring urgent provider intervention to prevent complications.Choice B reason: 300 mL over 8 hr is adequate output post-TURP, not alarming. It aligns with expected bladder irrigation effects, needing no immediate report.Choice C reason: Small clots are normal post-TURP as the prostate heals. Only large or persistent clots warrant concern, so this is an expected finding.Choice D reason: Frequent urination urge is common post-TURP from bladder irritation. It’s not critical unless paired with obstruction, so it doesn’t need reporting.
