An older adult male client arrives at the clinic reporting that his bladder always feels full. The client also reports a weak urine flow, frequent dribbling after voiding, and increasing nocturia with difficulty initiating the urine stream. Which action should the nurse implement?

Choice A reason: While obtaining a urine specimen is important for diagnosing infection, it does not address the immediate discomfort and potential urinary retention the client may be experiencing. Choice B reason: Cleansing the glans penis is part of good hygiene but does not address the client's symptoms of a full bladder and weak urine flow. Choice C reason: Palpating for suprapubic distention can provide immediate information about bladder fullness and potential urinary retention, which may require prompt intervention. Choice D reason: Maintaining a voiding diary is useful for tracking symptoms over time but does not provide an immediate assessment or intervention for the client's current symptoms.
