Verizon [17]

Answer:

Have dilute urine."

2

Be unable to urinate."

3

Produce dark red urine."

4

Experience some burning on urination."

The CORRECT ANSWER IS 4

4

Experience some burning on urination."

Explanation:

Due to the trauma affecting the mucous membranes of the urinary tract, burning on urination is a more likely response, this sensation gets to reduce with time. This will stop the urine from further dilution once the frequent continuous bladder irrigation is stoped and removed. Although, the urine may show a slight pink tinge which results from the trauma after the surgery and the effect of the catheter that is noticed. A difficulty to urinate won't be felt except the indwelling catheter is removed earlier than it should expected and edema still occurs in the urethra. Production of dark red urine is an indicative factor for hemorrhage, which ought not to be seen.
