Answer:
A. Pale pink colour indicates proper irrigation and adequate functioning of the device
Step-by-step explanation:
TURP– Transurethral resection of the prostate is a surgical operation used to treat urinary problems which are caused by an enlarged prostate.
Excess prostate tissue is removed during a TURP to let urine flow freely through the urethra.
Bladder irrigation involves flushing out / washing out the urinary bladder with specific solution.
According to anatomy and physiology;
• Ureters are tubules that run from kidney to bladder transporting urine
• Bladder is a muscular organ that holds urine
• Urethra carries urine to outside of body.
At a steady and sufficient infusion rate of the bladder irrigation of the urinary tract, the Foley tubing give a PALE PINK colour. This indicates there is proper irrigation and adequate functioning of the device.
A bright red colour indicates a bleeding, a clot over the catheter represents complications while a dark colour means that more irrigation solution should be infused.
Colours are the markers.
