Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Because the urethra passes through the prostate gland as it empties urine from the bladder, bladder irrigation is performed to maintain patency of the urethra after prostate surgery. The other procedures would not be ordered in this situation.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
The nurse should warn the client that during the procedure, he or she may feel a sensation of warmth and a fluttering in the heart, as the catheter passes through the blood vessels. Clients may be apprehensive about the procedure, so the nurse should explain that it is not painful, although it may be slightly uncomfortable. A local anesthetic is given during the procedure. The nurse should check the client's peripheral pulses every 15 minutes for an hour after the test and then frequently thereafter for up to 8 hours, depending on the insertion site used.
