单选题
The nurse is caring for a client undergoing a cystoscopy to diagnose bladder cancer. Following the test, the client returns to his room. Which signs should alert the nurse to a potential complication? A. Chills and tachycardia. B. Urinary frequency and burning on urination. C. Dizziness and fainting. D. Pink-tinged urine and bladder spasms.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】Chilis and tachycardia may indicate bladder infection and should be reported to the physician immediately. Clients commonly feel burning on urination and urinary frequency after cystoscopy as a result of irritation from the cystoscope. Orthostatic dizziness and fainting may occur after the legs have been removed from stirrups, which are used to maintain the client in a lithotomy position. Pink-tinged urine and bladder spasms may be expected after cystoscopy. Note, however, that the occurrence of bright red blood may be an indication of hemorrhage.
