The nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing both decreased appetite and shortness of breath ...

The nurse is caring for a client who is experiencing both decreased appetite and shortness of breath related to ascites. A paracentesis has been scheduled for this client. Immediately prior to the procedure, the nurse accompanies the client to the bathroom so the client can void. Which would be the nurse's BEST action when the client reports an inability to void?

▸ Request that the healthcare provider (HCP) postpone the procedure until the client can void.

▸ Explain to the healthcare provider that extra caution must be taken during the paracentesis because the client couldn't void before the procedure.

▸ Ask the healthcare provider for a one-time order of an in-and-out catheterization.

▸ Ask the client to try the void again because the paracentesis cannot be performed until the client's bladder is empty.
