Q

A patient is experiencing oliguria. Which action should the nurse perform first?
a. Increase the patient’s intravenous fluid rate.
b. Encourage the patient to drink caffeinated beverages.
c. Assess for bladder distention.
d. Request an order for diuretics.

A

ANS: C

The nurse first should gather all assessment data to determine the potential cause of oliguria. It could be that the patient does not
have adequate intake, or it could be that the bladder sphincter is not functioning and the patient is retaining water. Increasing fluids
is effective if the patient does not have adequate intake, or if dehydration occurs. Caffeine can work as a diuretic but is not helpful if
an underlying pathology is present. An order for diuretics can be obtained if the patient was retaining water, but this should not be
