Answer: The statement that is said by nurse which includes that the examination of residual urine will be done.

Step-by-step explanation:

The patients who is suffering from benign prostatic hyperplasia BPH is taken for rectal examination.

The examination includes prostrate examination, any hard mass in the prostrate which does not causes pain is examined, there is no need for the examination of urine sample( residual urine).

This statement regarding examination of residual urine by the nurse states that she needs further teaching.
