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?

A. Instruct in effective techniques to cleanse the glans penis: While hygiene education may be important, the client's symptoms suggest a urinary issue that needs further assessment. B. Palpate the client's suprapubic area for distention: These symptoms are consistent with urinary retention, and palpating the suprapubic area can help assess for bladder distention. C. Advise the client to maintain a voiding diary for one week: While a voiding diary can provide valuable information, the client's symptoms indicate a need for immediate assessment and intervention. D. Obtain a urine specimen for culture and sensitivity: While obtaining a urine specimen is important, it may not directly address the immediate concern of possible urinary retention
