    HESI LPN EXIT TEST 11 PROCTORED EXAM

    The practical nurse (PN) is assisting with the preparation of a client for fecal diversion surgery. While inserting an indwelling urinary catheter, the client asks if the surgical opening will be visible. Which action should the PN implement?

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Asking about the bowel sterilization prescription isn't directly related to the client's concern about the visibility of the surgical opening. B. Reviewing the client's expectations regarding elimination after surgery helps address the client's concerns about the surgical opening and ensures proper education and understanding. C. Verifying the NPO status is important for surgery preparation but doesn’t address the client's specific concern. D. Understanding if this is the client's first indwelling catheter doesn’t directly address the immediate concern of the client regarding the visibility of the surgical opening.
