Post by: rpaleo on Apr 5, 2017 A male patient tells the nurse that he has "excruciating pain" in his perineal region that started a few days after having an indwelling urinary catheter removed. Upon inspection, the nurse sees a dime-sized reddened area on the patient's perineum below the scrotal sac. What nursing intervention is priority?
1. Have the wound further evaluated for possible Fournier's gangrene. 2. Apply ice to the region. 3. Give the patient prn acetaminophen. 4. Place a scrotal support on the patient.
