Accepted Answer

A cystoscopy is a procedure used to examine the bladder and urinary tract. After the procedure, the patient may experience some discomfort or side effects for a few hours or days. The nurse should instruct the patient to monitor their temperature for 24 hours to ensure there is no fever, as this may indicate infection. It is common for the patient to have burning or discomfort during urination, which should clear up by the end of the day. They may also have some blood in their urine initially, but this should be minimal; if they experience excessive bleeding, they should contact their healthcare provider. Option B and E are not typically associated with cystoscopy and should not be included in the patient's instructions.
