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:

  1. "If I drink 10 to 12 glasses of fluids each day, that will help to prevent any clot formation in my urine."
  2. "The isometric exercises will help to strengthen my perineal muscles and help me control my urine."
  3. "If I feel as though I have developed a fever, I will take a rectal temperature, which is the most accurate."
  4. "I do not plan to do any heavy lifting until I visit my doctor again."

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

(A) This is correct health teaching. Drinking 10­12 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.
