The nurse is preparing discharge instructions for a patient with type 2 diabetes mellitus who will be starting exenatide.
What information should be included in the discharge instructions?

Choice A rationale

While it’s always important to inform the medical team of any allergies, there’s no specific link between shellfish or iodine allergies and cystoscopy.

Choice B rationale

After a cystoscopy, patients should report any instances of painful urination, blood in urine, or fever. These could be signs of complications such as infection.

Choice C rationale

There’s no specific need for patients to refrain from strenuous activities and sports for at least 2 weeks after a cystoscopy.

Choice D rationale

Remaining in a prone position for 24 hours after the procedure is not a standard recommendation following a cystoscopy.

Choice A rationale

The patient is resting and cooperative, which indicates a calm and alert state, not agitation. Orientation x means the patient is aware of person, place, time, and situation, which is a normal finding. Dizziness is not mentioned in the patient’s condition. Pupils being equal and reactive to light is a normal finding and does not indicate a neurological issue.

Choice B rationale

Bradycardia refers to a slower than normal heart rate, which is not mentioned in the patient’s condition. Weak bilateral radial pulses could indicate poor blood circulation, but this is not mentioned in the patient’s condition. Capillary refill of 2 seconds is a normal finding. The absence of lower leg edema is a normal finding and does not indicate a cardiovascular issue.

Choice C rationale

Clear breath sounds are a normal finding and indicate that the patient’s lungs are free of obstructions or fluid.

Choice D rationale

The last reported bowel movement being 4 days ago could indicate constipation, but this is not mentioned in the patient’s condition.
