The nurse is reviewing instructions provided to a client about an upcoming cystoscopy. Which client response indicates that no further teaching is required?

1. “During the procedure the physician will take x-rays.”
2. “I will be awake for this procedure.”
3. “The doctor will be able to see my kidneys.”
4. “The scope is a lighted instrument inserted through the urethra.”

ANSWER

Correct Answer: 4
Rationale 1: Because cystoscopy is direct visualization, x-rays are not needed nor taken.
Rationale 2: Clients are either put to sleep or consciously sedated during this procedure; they are not awake.
Rationale 3: Only the bladder, ureteral orifices, and urethra are directly visualized.
Rationale 4: The cystoscope is a lighted instrument inserted through the urethra.
