A client with eczema is applying 10% urea cream onto the affected skin areas. Which finding reflects the expected therapeutic response?

A. Irrigating the catheter manually:
Manually irrigating the catheter without an order may disrupt the clotting process and increase the risk of bleeding. It is not a routine nursing intervention post-TURP without specific orders.

B. Monitoring catheter drainage.
It is not within the nurse's scope of practice to manually irrigate the catheter without a healthcare provider's order, especially in the context of post-TURP care. The dark, pink-tinged outflow with blood clots indicates some expected bleeding following the procedure. The nurse should closely monitor the catheter drainage for the amount, color, and presence of clots.

C. Discontinuing infusing solution:
Discontinuing the normal saline irrigation may lead to clot formation and obstruction, potentially worsening the situation. The continuous bladder irrigation is often used to prevent clot formation and maintain catheter patency post-TURP.

D. Decreasing the flow rate:
The flow rate is typically set by the healthcare provider to maintain catheter patency and prevent clot formation. Decreasing the flow rate without specific orders may not be appropriate in this situation.

A. Move the client to a private room, keep the door closed, and initiate droplet precautions:
This is the correct answer. Given the client's symptoms and potential exposure to COVID-19, it is important to take infection control measures. Placing the client in a private room, keeping the door closed, and initiating droplet precautions help prevent the potential spread of the virus.

B. Start an intravenous infusion for antiviral drug to be administered for positive COVID-19 test results:
Antiviral medications are typically prescribed based on confirmed COVID-19 test results and the severity of symptoms. Starting an intravenous infusion at this stage, before test results are available, is premature and not indicated.

C. Counsel family members to monitor for illness symptoms for 2 weeks after last contact with the patient:
While it is important for family members to monitor for symptoms, the immediate concern is the isolation and testing of the symptomatic client. Contact tracing may follow, but infection control measures for the client are the priority.

D. Assist the client to recall everyone possibly exposed since onset of symptoms:
While contact tracing is important, the immediate action is to isolate the client and initiate precautions. Contact tracing can be done as part of a broader public health response but is not the initial step.
