    When assessing a client who had a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) one day ago, the nurse observes that his scrotum and penis are edematous. Which intervention(s) should the nurse implement? Select all that apply.

    Explanation & Rationale

    A. Immediate notification of the healthcare provider is not warranted unless there are signs of complications, such as excessive bleeding or infection. B. Applying a cold pack to the scrotal and penile areas can help reduce swelling and discomfort after TURP. C. Putting a pillow under the buttocks can help reduce pressure on the surgical site and may improve comfort and circulation. D. The indwelling catheter should not be removed unless there is a medical reason or complication that requires it. E. A urinalysis is generally not needed unless there are signs of infection or hematuria.
