An older female client tells the nurse in the clinic that she has a cystocele that was diagnosed a year ago. she has urinary frequency and burning on urination. the client asks, "the doctor wanted me to have surgery for the cystocele last year, but i can manage with peripads. it won't hurt not to have surgery, will it?" how should the nurse respond

The best response that the nurse should provide to the client is advising her, the disadvantage of not having to follow the doctor’s request of having a surgery and using alternatives just to manage the illness that she acquires. The nurse would likely suggest that the client’s management would cause risk in having her kidney to be damaged. The cystocele that the client is experiencing causes weakening of pelvic structures, there will be a cause of urinary stasis and the bladder will not be as empty as it supposed to be when urinating. A surgery is important when a person has this illness for it prevents chronic infection that would likely happen and even renal failure. The surgery would prevent complications and improve the person’s bladder functions.
