单项选择题
While assessing a client who complained of lower abdominal pressure, the nurse notes a firm mass extending above the symphysis pubis. The nurse suspects（）
A. a urinary tract infection.
B. renal calculi.
C. an enlarged kidney.
D. a distended bladder.
答案
参考答案：D
解析：
The bladder isn’t usually palpable unless it’s distended. The feeling of pressure is usually relieved with urination. Reduced bladder tone due to general anesthesia is a common postoperative complication that causes difficulty in voiding. A urinary tract infection and renal calculi aren’t palpable. The kidneys aren’t palpable above the symphysis pubis.
