The nurse is assigning care of a client with prostatitis to a practical nurse (PN). Which instruction should the nurse provide the PN regarding the care of this client?

A. Straining all urine is not a standard intervention for prostatitis. This is typically done for conditions like urinary stones, where fragments may need to be collected. Prostatitis does not require this intervention. B. Maintaining contact isolation is unnecessary for prostatitis unless the client has an active infection with a multidrug-resistant organism requiring isolation precautions. Prostatitis alone does not warrant contact isolation. C. Avoiding urinary catheterization is an essential instruction for a client with prostatitis. Catheterization can exacerbate inflammation and increase the risk of further infection in the prostate gland. Alternative methods for managing urinary retention, such as suprapubic catheterization if necessary, should be considered. D. Restricting oral fluid intake is not recommended. Adequate hydration is important for clients with prostatitis to help flush the urinary tract, reduce irritation, and promote healing. Restricting fluids could worsen symptoms and delay recovery.
