A nurse is providing preoperative teaching to a client who is scheduled for a radical prostatectomy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the teaching?

Rationale: A. The client will be on bed rest while continuous bladder irrigation is in place.: Bed rest is not required solely due to continuous bladder irrigation (CBI). Early ambulation is encouraged postoperatively to prevent complications such as deep vein thrombosis and promote recovery. B. Cold compresses will be used to manage bladder spasms.: Bladder spasms are common after prostate surgery, but they are typically managed with anticholinergic medications, such as oxybutynin, rather than cold compresses. C. The client will have an NG tube in place for 48 hr postoperatively.: An NG tube is not routinely used following a radical prostatectomy unless the client develops complications like ileus or vomiting. Its use is not part of standard postoperative care. D. A PCA pump will be used for postoperative pain control.: A patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) pump is commonly used after major surgeries like a radical prostatectomy to manage pain effectively. It allows the client to self-administer controlled doses of pain medication for optimal comfort.
