Question

a nurse is contributing to the plan of care for a client who has cystitis. which of the following interventions should the nurse recommend? insert an indwelling urinary catheter. monitor the client for bradycardia. check the clients stools for occult blood. provide the client with warm sitz baths.

Explanation:

Indwelling urinary catheters can increase the risk of infection and are not recommended for cystitis. Bradycardia is not a typical concern for cystitis. Checking stools for occult blood is unrelated to cystitis. Warm sitz baths can provide comfort and help relieve the discomfort associated with cystitis.

Answer:

D. Provide the client with warm sitz baths.
