Practice Question

A nurse is collecting data from a client who is 1 day postoperative following a transurethral resection of the prostate. Which of the following findings should the nurse report to the provider?.

Answer Choices:

Correct Answer:

Dark red urine

Rationale:

🩸 Dark red urine after a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) may indicate active bleeding, which is not expected 1 day post-op and should be reported immediately.

It could suggest hemorrhage or complications at the surgical site.

🩸 Occasional small clots are expected in the early postoperative period.

🩸 Urine output of 300 mL over 8 hours is low but still within cautious watch unless it continues.

🩸 Frequent urge to urinate is common due to bladder irritation from the catheter and surgery.
