A nurse removes an indwelling urinary catheter that an older adult client has had in place for 2 days. The nurse should assess the client for which of the following expected outcomes after catheter removal?

A. Temporary urinary retention: After removal of an indwelling catheter, some clients may experience temporary difficulty initiating urination due to decreased bladder tone or sphincter control. Monitoring for urinary retention is an expected nursing responsibility post-catheter removal. B. Blood-tinged urine: While mild trauma can occasionally cause slight hematuria, blood-tinged urine is not an expected outcome. Persistent or visible blood suggests possible urethral injury or infection and would require provider notification. C. Urinary frequency for several days: Frequency is not typical after short-term catheter use. Instead, frequency may indicate bladder irritation, infection, or other underlying urinary tract pathology rather than being an expected outcome. D. Highly concentrated urine: Urine concentration depends on hydration status, not catheter removal. Concentrated urine may signal dehydration but is not directly related to the removal of an indwelling catheter.
