the ambulatory care nurse is providing instructions to a client after a cystoscopy. which statement by the client indicates a need for further teaching?
rationale, strategy, tip
answer options
1 \i need to increase my fluid intake.\
2 \i can apply heat to my lower abdomen.\
3 \i may have some burning on urination for the next few days.\
4 \if i notice any pink - tinged urine, i would contact my doctor.\

Explanation:

After a cystoscopy, pink - tinged urine is a common and expected finding due to minor trauma during the procedure. So a client thinking they need to contact the doctor for this indicates a need for further teaching. The other options (increasing fluid intake, applying heat to the lower abdomen, expecting some burning on urination) are appropriate post - cystoscopy actions.

Answer:

1. "If I notice any pink - tinged urine, I would contact my doctor."
