Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 2
Rationale 1: Deflating and reinflating the balloon is not an option. The surgeon knows how much pressure is needed to control bleeding after surgery.
Rationale 2: Blood clots give the client the sensation to urinate when they obstruct the urine outflow; therefore, irrigation will have to remedy the problem.
Rationale 3: Repositioning the catheter would not be an option right after surgery.
Rationale 4: The catheter is usually taped to the client's leg after a TURP and is not to be manipulated. This also controls bleeding after surgery.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale : Solutes such as glucose are reabsorbed in the loop of Henle.
