Title: Which of these explanations would be most appropriate for a nurse to give to a p Post by: colleen on Jan 30, 2013 Which of these explanations would be most appropriate for a nurse to give to a patient who is scheduled to have a portable ultrasonic bladder scan to measure residual urine? “
1. “You will have more than one reading taken.” 2. “You will have an intermittent urinary catheter inserted and removed.” 3. “You will have to delay the urge to void as long as possible.” 4. “You will have the scan one hour after voiding in the toilet.” Title: Re: Which of these explanations would be most appropriate for a nurse to give to a p Post by: robertling on Feb 2, 2013 1 -- When performing a portable ultrasonic bladder scan the nurse obtains several readings and uses the largest (the most accurate). The nurse should print the information, place it on the patient’s chart, and document the residual urine amount. The patient is not asked to delay voiding. No catheterization is performed as part of this test. The scan is performed immediately after the patient voids.
