A postoperative prostatectomy client is preparing for discharge from the hospital the next morning. The nurse realizes that additional instructions are necessary when he states:

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

(A) This is correct health teaching. Drinking 10--12 glasses of clear liquid will help increase urine volumes and prevent clot formation. (B) This is correct health teaching. These types of exercises are prescribed by physicians to assist postprostatectomy clients to strengthen their perineal muscles. (C) This action is not recommended post-TURP because of the close proximity of the prostate and rectum. (D) This is correct healthcare teaching. The client should limit walking long distances, lifting heavy objects, or driving a car until these activities are cleared by the physician at the first office visit.

Drinking 10-12 glasses of fluids a day to prevent clots? That's a lot of trips to the bathroom! I hope the patient has a comfy recliner nearby.

Avoiding heavy lifting is a no-brainer after a prostatectomy. Good to see the patient is aware of that in Option D.

Wow, a rectal temperature? I'm not sure I'd want to be taking my own temperature that way, even if it's the most accurate. Option C is a bit too hands-on for my liking.
