Thank you Cathy. I'm not a Nurse or studying to be a Nurse, but rather a 59 yr male who is scheduled to have a TURP soon and your information was very helpful, thank you again.
I had TURP done on 10/02/2023 the best thing I have done. My other doctors were just giving me pills for years. They just about destroyed my bladder. I was having to use catheters sometimes to pee. Just find a good surgeon who knows what they are doing. That is what I did was to find a good doctor, who told me what I needed. I pee so good now, I wonder why they made me suffer for so long. Pills do not work they did nothing for me.
agreed, had this procedure about 4 months ago now. Glad to be off the pills (Flomax and Avodart) and zero major issues. PSA test scheduled for next week will be interesting to see what the reading is; pre-surgery my PSA was 14.5 even with both pills.
It’s great that you are getting more information on your upcoming surgery. It is a very common surgery, but there is definitely a recovery period and things to expect after the procedure. Here is a link to a website that provides reliable, good information about TURP: medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002996.htm. I hope your healthcare team takes excellent care of you and you have a speedy recovery. Take care. ❤️
I.REALLY LOVEEEEEEE THIS SIMPLE BUT SO AMAZING INFORMATION. ALSO, THE QUESTIONS AFTER THE LECTURE. I ANSWERED IT WITHOU5 LOOKING AT MY NOTES, IT MEANS I CAN UNDERSTAND AND REMEMBER THE LECTURE EASILY ❤❤❤THANK YOUUU
The nurse observes an increased number of blood clots in the drainage tubing of a client with continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). What is the best initial nursing action?-good a. Increase the flow of the bladder irrigation b. d. Measure the client's intake and output Administer a PRN dose of an antispasmodic agent Provide additional oral fluid intake
Thank you for the video, can you further explain the purpose/role of the catheter and its balloon? i am not currently studying to be a nurse, but am a high schooler interested in going into the pre-med route soon. these videos always catch my interest
Thank you doctor. But I have some questions. 58 years old, have been taking alphalytics for over 5 years. I felt terrible. The pressure was unchanged, but the head was spinning, the strength was lacking. A couple of times, when I tried silodosin, the worst of all molecules, I had to phone my wife to come pick me up, because I didn't recognize the way home!!! The latest generation alphalytics, tamsulosin, alfuzosin, silodosin, do not lower blood pressure, but cause dementia. It's not life, but survival. Miserable survival. For over 5 years, at every moment, I seriously thought I was dying. Furthermore, on a sexual level, tamsulosin and silodosin do not cause retrograde ejaculation but total anaejaculation. Also after a few months, you can't urinate. I do not know why. Maybe the prostate swells and prevents it from coming out? I don't know, but it's terrible. They are counterproductive. Since you urologists say that ejaculating frequently, it reduces the risk of prostate cancer by 30%. Isn't it a contradiction to prescribe something that completely blocks ejaculation? I mean, take silodosin or tamsulosin and you'll have a 30% greater chance of cancer? And in the meantime will you live worse than a stray dog, due to the extreme discomfort they cause? Is this to avoid having a surgery that takes about thirty minutes? Alphalytics are NOT candy! Better the resector, the laser, the steam, whatever you prefer, but not the alphalytics. I err?
Yes those are in the Nervous System section. There are cards that provide an anatomy and physiology review towards the front end of that section, and eye/ear disorders are towards the back of that section.

So happy to help! Thank you for watching and for your kind comment. ❤️
And by the way, I also bought your medsurg and pharma flash cards. ❤️
Nice work, well explained. I had a TURP procedure 3 years ago and I thank God for the RNs that assisted me during my stay.
Thank you for the kind comment! So glad your RNs took good care of you when had your surgery. ❤️

Watching this today am getting ready for this surgery in 21 days from now. I've never had any surgery and am pretty chook of what to expect .

I am 77. I under went TURP surgery in 2019. Now i have pain and after passing urine the pain goes away. Do i have 4:38 to undergo TURP again ?
TURP also known as (AKA) Roto Rooter.
The nurse observes an increased number of blood clots in the drainage tubing of a client with continuous bladder irrigation following a transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP).
What is the best initial nursing action?-good a.
Increase the flow of the bladder irrigation
b.
d.
Measure the client's intake and output
Administer a PRN dose of an antispasmodic agent
Provide additional oral fluid intake
Can you please answer it, I saw different answers
Hi, fellow nursing student here. Someone asked a similar question during lecture and my professor said you would increase irrigation flow
Thank you so much 🙏
You're welcome 😊
Thank you for the video, can you further explain the purpose/role of the catheter and its balloon? i am not currently studying to be a nurse, but am a high schooler interested in going into the pre-med route soon. these videos always catch my interest
If the prostate surrounds the urethra, how do you get access to the prostate to remove the obstructions through the urethra?
I love your videos!!!
Awesome! We are so happy to help! ❤️
Does it involve the destruction of urethrae???????????
may I ask why would we increase the CBI if there us a bright red tinge colour would that not mean the to is hemorrhaging?

I keep forgetting you are a wound nurse. I remember when I see your certificate in the back.
Yes, love being a wound care nurse! ❤️
What card is this on? I have the MedSurg cards. I don’t see this one.
It’s in the Reproductive system section. 👍
Thanks do you have cards for ears and eyes?
Yes those are in the Nervous System section. There are cards that provide an anatomy and physiology review towards the front end of that section, and eye/ear disorders are towards the back of that section.
@@LevelUpRN thanks
No problem! Good luck with studying!
I have psa 4 is that good or bad
Under 4 is normal, over could be indicative of bph or prostate cancer
It would be good to have some additional testing to determine why your PSA is elevated.
I'm having dilation urethrotomy and turp surgery July 16th outpatient I live alone will I be OK being alone
